The second set was a bit more even, with Kovinic even taking a 3:1 lead. But then she lost her serve again, which turned out to be the key moment of the match. The owner of three ITF titles won the second set 6: 4.

It is already certain that Fruhvirt will improve her career high in Monday’s ranking. But her journey through the tournament in Miami is not over yet, as she will face Belgium’s Elise Mertens in the second round.
