In the match, the charge of Daniel Vacek Macháč showed the courage to play the winning ball and the feeling of calls or shortening. He didn’t give up, for example in the second set he deflected six breakballs at 4: 5 and forced a tie-break, but he lost 2: 7 in it.
He managed the third and fourth set perfectly, but in the decisive set he lost 0: 4 quickly and did not manage to turn around. In the second match, Fritz fired an ace and the match ended after three hours and 39 minutes.
Bouzková ends, Uncle did not hesitate
For Maria Bouzková, the Grand Slam Roland Garros ended just like in the first round last year. Today, in cold conditions on Czech clay, the Czech tennis player lost to the Estonian Kaia Kanepiová 6: 4, 4: 6 and 2: 6.
Uncle won Lepchenk’s win in a duel with a qualifying player in two hours and four minutes. Roland Garros won the opening singles match for the fifth time in its fourteenth round. “I appreciate the winnings immensely, all the more so because I played against an opponent who had three games behind me. I’m happy,” she said.
She mentally prepared for the match in winter and wind all day. “You can’t let it go to your head, otherwise you will quickly succumb to it. The conditions were not easy and it will be every day. After all, we are at the end of September,” said Uncle, adding: “It is cold to feel “So I’m determined to leave everything there.”
In the second round, he may come across compatriot Barbora Krejčíková, who won the first set 6: 3 under the lights over Serbian Nina Stojanovičová. “If it will be a Czech derby, it’s great. We will have the Czech Republic in the third round. Maybe it will be me,” said Strýcová, 37th player of the WTA singles, who is also the world number two in the doubles and first deployed in doubles.
