Rezumatul partidei Cori Gauff – Venus Williams, Osaka rupe fileul cu serviciul, interviul de pe teren al Serenei
Shuai Zhang (China, 35 WTA) – Sloane Stephens (SUA, 27) [24] 2-6, 7-5, 6-2 în 2h2′ şi după ce învingătoarea şi-a pierdut serviciul în jocul 9 al setului 2 – până atunci manşa fusese lipsită de break-uri – şi a rezistat bine în următoarele 3 ghemuri, în care a fost în 5 rânduri la două puncte de eliminare.
Zhang a egalat palmaresul direct cu Stephens: 3-3. Shuai Zhang (clasament maxim: 23 WTA / noiembrie 2016, 30 de ani) juca anul trecut în turul 3 (R32) aici, unde cea mai bună performanţă a ei este sfertul de finală din 2016. Sloane Stephens ajungea la Australian Open 2019 până în optimile de finală, astfel că pierde 230 de puncte WTA în linia de clasament.
Pe tablolul feminin s-au încheiat 19 partide, alte 13 urmând să se încheie / dispute mâine, din cauza ploii violente care a căzut astăzi la Melbourne.
Dacă despre rezultatul capului de serie 3, Naomi Osaka, am vorbit mai devreme – pentru că ea se află pe aceeaşi şaisprezecime de tablou cu Sorana – ceilalţi 3 din primii 4 de pe această jumătate a tabloului au câştigat în primul tur, doar liderul WTA pierzând un set.
Trei jucătoare promovate din calificări au câştigat şi în turul 1:
Ann Li (SUA, 142) [Q] – Lizette Cabrera (Australia, 121) [WC] 7-6(4), 7-6(10) în 1h58′ şi după ce învingătoarea a revenit în setul 2 de la 2-5, a salvat trei mingi de set la 4-5 şi încă două în tie-break.
Ann Li a obţinut prima victorie pe un tablou principal de Grand Slam, la prima participare. Ea promovase pe tabloul principal după ce salvase două mingi de meci în faţaAnei Bogdan în runda finală a calificărilor.
Barbora Krejcikova (Cehia, 128) [Q] – Kaia Kanepi (Estonia, 101) 7-6(3), 2-6, 6-3 în 2h28′
Barbora Krejcikova (clasament maxim: 115 WTA / iulie 2019, 24 de ani) a obţinut prima victorie pe un tablou principal de Grand Slam, la a doua participare, prima la Roland Garros 2018.
