TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Irina-Camelia Begu battled through an upset of third-seeded Alize Cornet in Wednesday's second-round play of the Tashkent Open tennis tournament in Uzbekistan.
Begu broke Cornet's serve all eight of her receiving games in a 6-4, 6-1 victory. Neither player had much success serving, as Begu was broken five times. But she won two-thirds of the points off Cornet's serve and finished off eight of her 12 break points.
