You Overpowers Fullana 6-2 6-1 in Sao Paulo Qualifying

Xiaodi You needed little more than an hour's worth of authority to see off Brazil's Luiza Fullana 6-2 6-1 in the qualifying semifinals in Sao Paulo. The match turned on the return: Fullana landed 60.5% of her first serves but won only 46.2% of those points, and a dismal 5.9% behind her second delivery, leaving her serve permanently under water. You was hardly flawless herself, putting just 48.4% of first serves in and coughing up 10 double faults, yet she won 70% of her first-serve points and struck two aces. The Chinese player moved a win from the main draw.
