Mboko’s problems manifested themselves first and foremost in service. She won only half of her first serves and less than a third of her second serves. The eighth seed just didn’t seem to be in his right mood, both physically and mentally, suffering from 30 unforced errors.
Victoria Mboko was the eighth seed in the tournament, while Mirra Andreeva was the third seed.
