Set-1: Elena Vesnina and Veronika Kudermetova enjoyed an easy win

Vesnina and Kudermetova established an early lead and dropped it at any point of time. Even though Hsieh Su-wei tried her level best and played some really amazing forehands, she couldn’t cover up the margin.

Elise Mertens too tried hard to play some cheeky shots but they were ineffective as Vesnina and Kudermetova were targetting the baseline of their opponents consistently. As a result, they won the set 6-3.
