2 of 14: Chwalinska flips Wuhan opener to stun Bouzkova 1-6, 6-1, 6-1

2 of 14. After a 6-1 opening set in Wuhan, Marie Bouzkova won exactly two more games — one in each set — as Maja Chwalinska answered with 6-1, 6-1 to steal the Round of 32.

The first set was all Bouzkova. She won 17 of 25 service points, allowed Chwalinska just 8, broke twice and saved the only break point she faced. Chwalinska, broken twice, saved one of three break points and barely touched the Bouzkova delivery in a set she lost by 27 points to 14.

Then the match inverted. Set two finished 1-6: Chwalinska won 19 service points to 10, broke twice and saved both break points she faced, while Bouzkova's delivery — two double faults in the set — folded. The decider was harsher still: Bouzkova saved one of five break points, lost four service games, and Chwalinska collected 17 of 24 return points in another 1-6.

The aggregates confirm how narrow the margins were once the return turned. Chwalinska finished 74-63 ahead in total points, converted six break points to three and landed 74 percent of first serves to Bouzkova's 67. Her return game produced 36 points to Bouzkova's 27 — the gap that decided everything.

Bouzkova's numbers held up oddly well for a losing player: 48 first serves landed, five break points saved in total. But she defended only 45 percent of her break points to Chwalinska's 57, and from leading 6-1 she took just 36 of the last 96 points played.

One dominant set, then nothing. In Wuhan, the opening set turned out to be Bouzkova's only argument of the afternoon — and Chwalinska spent two full sets answering it.
