With the players doing much of the judging themselves, tempers flared repeatedly between the Eu ropeans in the opening sets before an official took over and let the players concentrate on the third set. Nagy stormed out to a 5-1 lead in the third, but with the decided ly partisan home crowd rooting her on, Petrovic clawed back to within one game before Nagy took the match, 6-2,3-6,6-4.
