- Parry, whose backhand and slice suit grass, backed up a strong grass-court swing that had included a run in Berlin.
- Jones, a British player appearing in the Wimbledon main draw, was unable to convert her chances, taking just one of five break points.
- Parry's first-serve numbers and eight aces gave her the edge in an otherwise close hitting contest.
