Gauff needed three sets to win her opening matchup against Laura Siegemund. Whether it was tournament nerves or some rust, she lost the first set but was able to battle back.

The third set needed 13 points in a tiebreaker to find a winner, but Mertens prevailed. She then took on Danielle Collins in the second round, and it didn’t get much easier. Mertens lost the opening set again but won the second in a tiebreaker and then the third easily.
