Masarova had played her way into the main draw with two wins in qualifying and also won twice there. In the duel with Townsend, who is ranked directly ahead of her in the world rankings, she was initially well on the way to extending her winning streak. At 2:5, the 2016 French Open junior winner won five games in a row to take the first set.
However, Townsend then took control of the match. Masarova only managed four games, all on her own serve. After 2:20 hours, the Swiss player's elimination was sealed.
