The Spanish player, ranked No. 122, converted four of her 15 break-point opportunities. Tennis.com’s completed match record shows she held serve in eight of nine service games, while Kostovic, ranked 141st, converted her only break chance.
Selekhmeteva hit two aces and made two double faults; Kostovic recorded three aces and four double faults. The result extended Selekhmeteva’s head-to-head advantage to 2–0, the WTA confirmed.
