The Olympic champion in Rio de Janeiro had a demanding first match, which did not allow her to relax and came tied at 19 in the first set. There, Marín raised the level with three points in a row that gave him the first set and a certain calm for the second.
The income was not bad for the Huelva, who saw the Scotsman play the second set one on one, again tied the sleeve until the arrival of the decisive games. The three-time world champion and six-time European champion once again brought out her claws and her best game to score the victory and seal her pass to the round of 16.
Marín, 2015 All England champion, will now face the winner of the match between the Thai Supanida Katethong and the American Beiwen Zhang.
