HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Lynn took all three doubles matches but had a battle at the top position.
  • Grace Mpassy/Diana Bogolii and Tereza Hejlova/Carolina Cuevas started off the match with 8-1 victories at the second and third doubles flights, respectively.
  • Rosalie Willig and Stefanie Stemmer tussled with the 23rd-ranked duo of Liucelena Perez and Isabella Lowrey at No. 1 but came through clutch in a tiebreaker for a 9-8 (7-1) triumph.
  • Singles action finished in reverse order with Lynn earning its fourth point with a default win at No. 6.
  • Martina Gledacheva (No. 5) and Stemmer (No. 4) surrendered just two games in their straight-set singles victories.
