The opening break in the second set paved the road to Jasmine, which in the opponent’s service most collected (two zero breaks) than on its own. The final balance is 18 winners and 18 errors, with 69 points won against Jovic’s 59. “Nice to have won two games, but I don’t want to look too far” said Jasmine, who thanked Sara Errani again, even today in the box: “He gives me many tactical advice. He is a great player, he will be a great coach”.
