Paula Badosa (6: 2, 6: 0 with Fiona Ferro), Aryna Sabalenka (2: 6, 6: 3, 6: 4 with Chleo Paquet), Karolina Pliskova (2: 6, 6: 3, 6: 1 with Tessah Andrianjafitrimo) and Danielle Collins (6: 4, 6: 0 with Wiktoria Tomowa). The victims of numbers 3, 7 and 8 were therefore French women, the American nine sent a Bulgarian home. The success of the former made the greatest impression.
Spanish express
Badosa won in 54 minutes, which is an express pace. Exactly at the same time and with the same result as the day before Iga Świątek. The Spaniard “dared” so compare to our champion. And she caused surprise, because no one suspected her of such a quick and high win. Paula is a player who rarely wins to zero. Most often, her matches are torn and ended under completely different circumstances. Meanwhile, this time she was delivering one powerful blow after another …
See the summary of the Bados – Ferro meeting. The Spaniard showed that she can win as fast as Iga
Badosa was shocked not only by the pace she imposed during the clash with Fiona Ferro. After the victory, she appeared in the same conference hat. And not because of the fear of air conditioning, the bane of many professional tennis players at tournaments, a carrier of many germs and colds, but evidently trying to create a new fashion on the courts. Fashion has to be admitted, previously unheard of in this sport.
Fashion madness of tennis players
The tennis player showed up at the conference in an outfit that suggested she was some kind of breakdance or skateboard champion. There has not been such a climate on the courts so far. Rather, conservatism has been of the price so far, and so far only the Williams sisters and possibly Bethanie Mattek-Sands have allowed themselves to be crazy about fashion. after a few years of peace, we have another version of “modernity”. The tournament three is to reach this generation of fans and inspire young people, and it must be admitted that she succeeds. – She’s so cold? Interesting creation – people smiled and her unusual headgear was analyzed in the press office.
See what Paul Bados was wearing on Tuesday
Danielle Collins and Jelena Ostapenko also won quickly, though not as fast as on Monday, Świątek and Tuesday for Badosa. The American defeated Wiktoria Tomowa 6: 0, 6: 4, the second efficiently managed 6: 1, 6: 4 with Lucia Bronzetti. We look at both of them with attention all the time, because they are tennis players with whom Iga lost this year. The only ones after Ashleigh Barty’s retirement and career are active on the tour.
Simona as bad as a wasp
Simona Halep, who unexpectedly played with No. 19, had big problems. The Romanian has been training a lot with Iga recently, trying to get used to her biting, aggressive style of play and unusual dynamics, unprecedented in a female tour. Bookmakers rate her in France as the second candidate to win. However, after what the experienced tennis player from Constanta showed against Nastasya Schunk from Germany, her rating had to drop significantly. The former leader of the WTA ranking won 6: 4, 1: 6, 6: 1, but she played in such a way that she herself came off the court badly like a wasp or even furious.
– It wasn’t my best day. I spent too much time on the court, made too many mistakes. If I do not limit their number, I will not count in this tournament – she admitted after advancing to the second round. Awaiting hard-working or even exhausted …
See Simona Halep – victorious but disappointed with her attitude. In this form, it will not threaten Iga
Karolina Pliskova, who on her long legs, though extremely stiff on the ground, defeated the hosts Tessah Andrianjafitrimo after a defeat in the first set, does not have a chance. She won 2: 6, 6: 3, 6: 1, but at the moment she is not ready not only to get closer to the final, but probably also to compete at all in the second week of Slam. Even if it spins up, it will need a much better adjusted reticle to hit the line with aggressive opponents.
Rivals paralyze her
The times when she moved with dignity around the court and felt no more pressure are gone forever. Today, the aggression of her younger rivals on the other side of the net often paralyzes her. This is no longer the same player who once reached the semi-finals and finals of the biggest events.
This is how Karolina Pliskova slipped into the second round. Will it go much further? Doubtful…
The first stage in Paris was also completed by the defeat after defeat in the clashes with Światek Daria Kasatkina (6: 2, 6: 0 with the Slovak Rebecca Sramkova) and the strong and cleverly playing Jessica Pegula (6: 2, 6: 4 with Qiang Wang). That day everything turned out to be exactly as the favorites wanted. It is so rare in women’s tennis, but it was just like that on Tuesday.
A bear on the courts in Paris
As we heard once in “Miś”, it was the thirtieth plenum of the Zenum cooperative. So a day when all the planes leave on time, according to the schedule, and then there is such a confusion that nothing can be done on time. This thirtieth plenum was this time on the courts in the French capital. Everything absolutely happened according to the spacing. And there was a really nice mess of it …
Danielle Collins – we remember her from Australia, where she reached the final. Will we also remember Garros? Interesting words about Putintseva – a gangster on the court, an angel outside
