[Q2] Ankita Raina (IND,192) vs Magdalena FRECH (POL,207) H2H 1-1

At W60 Changsha, China (Clay) R1 Rutuja BHOSALE (IND,452) 6-4 3-6 6-3 Meiqi GUO (CHN,523) R1 Jessy ROMPIES (INA) / Prarthana G. THOMBARE (IND) 4-6 6-2 [10-6] Mei Xu WU (CHN) / Wushuang ZHENG (CHN) R1 Rutuja BHOSALE (IND) / Erika SEMA (JPN) [2] 6-4 6-3 Ziyue SUN (CHN) / Qianqian ZHAO (CHN)

Unfortunately, Ankita could not capitalize on the early break and ended up losing the set 6-4 after having led her opponent 3-2 on serve.

Ankita just won the first set tiebreaker against Allertova. Hopefully, she will seal the next one, too. Fingers crossed!
