Despite having gone into her opening round encounter against Marie Bouzkova as a distance second favourite at 6/4, Pera did not spend a lot of time on court for her victory.
Pera, who had never even made the main draw at this tournament before this, was a 6-4, 7-6 (3) winner over her Czech opponent in a match that lasted an hour and 35 minutes.
She faced three break-points in the match, all of which came in the 10th game of the opening set as she served to take a 1-0 lead. In return the only time Pera earned a break-point was in the opening set and she converted that easily.
In the second, neither player earned a single break-point but in the tie-breaker that followed it was Pera who won four points in a row to take the early lead. While Bouzkova came back to reduce the deficit to 3-4, Pera won the next three to seal off the win.
