5:08pm Trevisan-Gauff 2-2
Then the American suddenly gets the break. She benefits from two double mistakes by Trevisan – one of them directly on the breakball.

She puts Gauff under pressure with stop balls, Trevisan gets the rebreak with a double fault.
16:58 Trevisan 1-1 Gauff
Gauff, who is a full 15 centimeters taller than her opponent today, still makes a few mistakes on her own serve. The 18-year-old isn’t in her game yet, but Trevisan is also looking a little hectic.

16:52 Trevisan 1-0 Gauff
