This was her double bagel in less than a year, winning with the same scoreline over Tatjana Maria at the Internationaux de Strasbourg in May en route to winning the title.

"I feel great, I feel good and I really like to play here.

The match was tough, every point. She had a lot of opportunities as well in the second set, so I'm just happy that I won it so easily."

Presently ranked just outside the Top-30 at No.33 on the WTA Charts, Pavlyuchenkova was completely dominating in the match, smacking 20 winners to Jorovic’s 5. She also had a very impressive break point conversion rate, winning 6 of the 9 break points she had.
