Jil Teichmann (WTA 30) will fall beyond the 55th place in the world at the end of the WTA 1000 in Madrid. Semi-finalist last year, the left-hander was eliminated in the second round by losing 3-6 6-2 6-4 after 2h32′ of play in front of the Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko (WTA 77).
Exempted from the 1st round on Madrid clay like the other 31 seeds, Jil Teichmann led 3-0 service to follow in the deciding set before dropping 6 of the last 7 games of a match that she seemed to be in control of. She had already lost her footing in the 2nd set, of which she had conceded the last 4 games after leading 2-2 30/40 on Lesia Tsurenko’s serve.
This defeat is the 4th in a row for Jil Teichmann, the 3rd suffered as soon as he entered the running after Miami and Charleston. She has not known the joys of victory since March 10 and her success over Belinda Bencic in the second round in Miami.
