Simona Waltert and Hailey Baptiste: Hailey Baptiste leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Hailey Baptiste lost the opening-set tiebreak 11-9 to Simona Waltert, then flipped the match behind her second serve — winning 56% of those points (27 of 48) to Waltert's 32% (9 of 28). Once the rallies extended, Baptiste's depth on return told: she converted 7 of 9 break points and took both remaining sets 6-4, 6-4 over 176 minutes. The seven double faults were a liability, but the 24-point second-serve gap made the difference in her first career meeting with the Swiss.
