Meanwhile, Hingis won the next three games in a row to lead the scoreboard into her[I don’t know what this means] at 3-2.  Schruff then leveled the score by holding her serve. Sensing a possible come from behind by Schruff, Hingis went farther in the match when she won the next two games to lead the scores at 5-3. Julia persisted on, winning the next game, and was a game down at 5-4. The first set of the match ended with Hingis breaking Schruff in the end to win the first set of the match at 6-4, in just twenty-eight minutes and twenty-one seconds.
During the second set, the first four games were split between Hingis and Schruff at 2-2 all. A hard-hitting Schruff broke Hingis’ serve in the fifth game to lead the scoreboard at 3-2. Not to be outdone, though, Hingis won the next four games buy holding her serve twice and breaking Schruff’s serve twice to win the second set, 6-3, and the match.
The next round offers Martina a chance to avenge the crushing defeat she got from Elena Dementieva during the final round of the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Japan earlier this year.
