Qualifier Eva Lys (22) almost missed out on going to the second round of the US Open. Despite the improvement in performance, the Hamburger lost to the Czech Marie Bouzkova on Tuesday with 2: 6, 6: 1, 5: 7 and was eliminated from the Grand Slam in the first round for the third time in series this year. Last year, the 22-year-old had cleared her opening hurdle in New York.
From a German perspective, this means that only Jule Niemeier (Dortmund) and Tatjana Maria (Bad Saulgau) are still in Flushing Meadows. Tamara Korpatsch (Hamburg) and Laura Siegmund (Metzingen) were already eliminated on Monday.
After initial difficulties on Court 4, Lys (number 112 in the world) continued to improve against the 45th in the world ranking, pushed herself, played with pressure and forced the Czech to make mistakes again. Bouzkova turned things around in the decisive third set – and won after two double faults from Lys in a row.
