A tense opening set saw no breaks of serve in the first 11 games; Kenin bravely navigated a titanic eighth game that featured six deuces and four break points, but the battle couldn’t win her the war.

Kontaveit stepped in to convert her 10th break point of the set to clinch it when Kenin erred on a backhand reply.

Kenin saved a match point when it came time for Kontaveit to serve it out, and though she nearly evened the set at five games apiece, the 25-year-old proved too tough on return, drawing one last forehand error from the former world No. 4 to advance into the last eight.

In all, she struck an impressive 31 winners to 20 unforced errors and maintained a formidable 66% first serve percentage while engineering 16 break chances on Kenin’s serve, winning four.
