Determined Peterson Edges Out McNally
Rebecca Peterson has been in outstanding form this month and the Swede continued her excellent run in Merida, going from qualifiers to the final.
The world no. 140, who was a finalist at the ITF Orlando earlier this month, defeated Caty McNally in the semifinal on Saturday to reach her third tour-level final.
Peterson has a perfect 2-0 record form her previous finals, winning the titles in Jianxi and Tianjin respectively.

Against the world no. 92 McNally, Peterson got off to a flying start, breaking her twice in a dominant first set. McNally turned the tables in the second set, racing to a 4-0 lead. But the Swede rebounded. Both exchanged three breaks each in the set before the American sealed it in the tiebreak.
The final set too saw McNally build a 0-4 lead. But once again, a determined Peterson fought back and in an incredible turnaround she won six games in a row to win the two hour and 49 minute contest 6-2, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4.
