The win gave Williams the second-most ever in the Open era, breaking a tie with Chris Evert. Williams would take the all-time record from Martina Navratilova with seven more victories.

Unfortunately for Beck, she would drop 11 of the next 12 games. Williams stormed back with a break of her own to even it at 2-2 and then zoomed through the rest of the first set to win 6-3.
