In the second set, Kraus dropped her serve in the very first game but immediately secured the rebreak. With the score at 3:2 for the Austrian, the world No. 94 broke her Swedish opponent, but Hennemann managed to rebreak.
After that, the 24-year-old was able to close out the match: The Viennese player broke the world No. 263 again and then served out for the win.
In the Round of 16, the ÖTV player will now face 18-year-old German Eva Bennemann (WTA 320), who defeated Anastasia Tikhonova (RUS) in two sets in the first round.
