A roller coaster, that's what the Grand Slam Hungary was in this category. The Puerto Rican Maria Pérez had the luxury of defeating the first seed, the Dutch Sanne Van Dijke, before being eliminated at the hands of the German Miriam Butkereit, who in turn had beaten the British Kelly Petersen-Pollard. World champion Barbara Matic was delighted, calmly advancing through the tournament until she lost to Japan's Saki Niizoe, who had in turn put an end to the hopes of Brazil's Maria Portela and Israel's Maya Goshen. It was a roller coaster that led to a final between the German and the Japanese with a favourable prognosis for the latter.
