Just 15 days ago, Anderson defeated Brooksby in straight sets in the Hall of Fame Open final. But this time, it was the 20-year-old wild card who won the biggest points to advance to the second round in Washington after one hour and 50 minutes.

"I kept my foot on the gas pedal, started returning better, got the break. Happy to close it out in straights."
