With House with Annette Mukurusa, the second finalist in the WTA final last November, was caught at the same time. The Estonian, who warmed up at the end of the 2021 tennis year, had no more or less chance against 19-year-old Clara Dowson, 2: 6, 4: 6. In practically all figures Dane clearly turned her into the best assorted adversary. In the end, Dowson had 22 points more than Conte.
