Dalma Galfi was the first of two Hungarians to advance on clay, and the Hungarian No. 87 in the world rankings lost to Romanian No. 15 Irina-Camelia Begu (37th) in straight, tight set, in 99 minutes.
An Anna Bondar match followed shortly thereafter: the Hungarian No. 86 in the world rankings collided with Russia’s Anna Blinkova (63rd), and although she had a match point in the shortened first set, she failed to win the point. In the end, he lost this match in a big fight, while the next match was easy, and he lost after 111 minutes of play.
Thus, no Hungarian player was left in contention at the Green Clay Championships in Charleston.
