In the first set, there were a total of seven service breaks in the 10 games played as both parties looked happy to surrender serve. But eventually, Sania-Hingis held their nerve more often than once, saving 5 of the 8 break points they faced, while breaking the opponents serve 4 times in 6 attempts.
The second set was also decided on fine margins. Lisicki-Safarova put in a much better showing with their serves.
