Krunic powers past Hennemann into Bastad second round

BASTAD, Sweden – No.8 seed Aleksandra Krunic
The WTA World No.113 navigated the opening five games of the match impressively, winning four of them, but suffered a minor blip on her own delivery as the Roland Garros junior quarterfinalist rescued one of the two breaks she was down.
Krunic, though, used her experience to see out the set and maintained that momentum into the second, dropping just three points as she moved into a 3-0 lead.
Hennemann was unable to convert a couple of consecutive break-back points in the fifth game as the match slipped away from her.
No.4 seed Mona Barthel
