In the second set, Schmiwa returned to form and successfully broke in the first and ninth games respectively to equalize the score 6-3.
In the deciding set, Wang Yafan seized the opportunity again in the 5th game, and scored 4 points in a row as soon as he came up, so as to complete the key break and maintain the break advantage to the end, winning another set 6-4, defeating the opponent 2-1 and advancing to the next round.
