However, Kenning quickly adjusted, and got a chance to break back 40-15 in the 5th set, and with Sviatek sending a double error, the American girl broke back successfully. The game went into a glue state. In the 8th set, Kenning saved two break points, but still failed to hold them. Sviatek, who ushered in the victory of the set, also failed to seize the opportunity, and Kenning improved the attack and broke successfully for the second time. However, she trailed 15-40 on her own unavoidable serve and came out on top 6-4 as the backhand bounced the ball back into the net.
