Entering this tournament, she played the world 138 Mihaela Buzarnescu of Romania in what proved to be a very tough match. Teichmann lost the first set on a tie-break, and went a break down in the second, before eventually clawing her way back to level, and then go on to clinch the contest.

The British player put up more of a fight in the second set, and, despite dropping her opening service game, was able to level. However, Tig broke back immediately, and although the pair swapped serve breaks again, Tig had enough in the end to complete the job in straight sets.
