Twenty-one-year-old Vondroušová started well against Kanepiová, won 12 of 14 initial exchanges and led 3: 0. However, the 14-year-old Estonian then refined the game, stopped spoiling it and the left-handed Czech tennis player went on the defensive. After two mistakes, she finally lost the opening set.
“She showed off the first few gams, but then served well and I made a mistake. It was necessary to change the rhythm, because when she had it on her hand, she killed it. I had to play the length so that she didn’t have room to push me,” Vondroušová told the online press. conference.
From the second set, Vondroušová played more confidently and could traditionally rely on shortening for the net. From a score of 2: 3, she gained ten gamma in a row. “It looks clear, but we were still dragging. It was important that I got into my game and could use coops and shorts,” she said.
After a one-year break, she rejoiced in advancing in Paris. Last year she dropped out in the first round with later champion Polka Iga Šwiateková. “It was a tough match, I didn’t play badly and she didn’t play great,” Vondroušová recalled.
In the next match, Vondroušová will face home Harmony Tanová, the 149th player in the world, who received a wild card in the competition and eliminated compatriot Alizé Cornetová in the 1st round. “She won’t play badly. When she got the card, she had to deserve it. I won’t underestimate it,” Vondroušová said.
