Upper Austria Open: Jodie Burrage eases into last 16 in Linz

Burrage, who came through two qualifying rounds, sealed her first main draw win of the season in the 6-4 6-0 success against the world number 43 and now faces Romanian Jaqueline Cristian or Argentina's Nadia Podoroska.

Burrage lost her opening service game to trail 2-0 in the first set, but hit back to level it up and a decisive break in the seventh game put her 4-3 ahead before she confidently served out to take it 6-4.

The world number 102 maintained her momentum in the second set, breaking Gracheva immediately and saving a break point against her in the next game.

That put her 2-0 up and after racing into a 5-0 lead, Burrage saved three more break points in the sixth game to bagel her opponent.

Burrage qualified for the main draw in Linz by fighting back from a set down to beat Germany's Anna-Lena Friedsam 5-7 6-3 6-2 on Monday, having overcome Colombia's Emiliana Arango 6-1 6-4 in the first qualifying round.
