Martic Holds Off Van Uytvanck
Petra Martic survived a second round scare as she held off Belgium’s Alison Van Uytvanck in a two hour and 44 minute contest on Thursday.
The world no. 34 had an early break in the first set to lead 3-0, but she lost the next four in a row to find herself a break down against the Belgian. However, she fought back to win the last three games in a row and seize the initiative.
Neither player could break in the second set and it was eventually decided in the tiebreak. Both exchanged plenty of minibreaks but it was Van Uytvanck who edged the set and forced the decider.
The final set saw Van Uytvanck get an early break but Martic pulled it back in the middle and then sealed victory with a dominating display in the final set tiebreak.
The 32-year-old, who served seven aces in the match, ousted the world no. 76, 6-4, 6-7 (5-), 7-6 (7-3).
Martic had struck 11 aces during her 6-1, 7-5 win over Spanish qualifier Marina Bassols Ribera in the first round.
