After the opening two games went with serve, Zidansek reeled off five in a row, including two breaks, to stun the second seed and edge ahead.

Zidansek wasted three match points when serving for the title at 5-2 as Linette kept herself in the contest, but the reprieve was short-lived as her opponent hit back immediately to clinch victory.
