Cornish stepped-up with more consistent shots and fought back to win 7-5 in the opening set.
In the second set, both players kept up their high pace and they tied at 6 all then forced them to have tie-break. At critical points, world ranked 200 Cornish was able to maintain her cool head and eventually she completed the match, 7-6(4).
