Rositsa Dencheva also advanced to the round of 16 after eliminating Britain's Mingge Xu the eighth seed, with a score of 6-3, 7-6 (3). The match began yesterday and was paused with Dencheva leading 5-2. Today, she completed the first set 6-3. The second set saw an exchange of breaks in the first four games, reaching 2-2. At 4-5, Dencheva saved three set points before forcing a tiebreak, where she led 4-0 and eventually won 7-3. Dencheva will next compete against Germany's Sonja Zhenikhova in the round of 16.
