The Australians kept their cool and managed to close it off on an ace. Graudina and Kravcenoka took their turn to control the scoreboard in the second set and widened the gap to three points at 8-5. But then, they started making far too many unforced errors and gradually lost their usual confidence on the court giving the set away for a 2-0 (23-21, 21-13) Australian victory.
