Tennis player Kateřina Siniaková.
Twenty-four-year-old Siniak won two matches in the main competition of the WTA Tour almost a year later, most recently in Beijing last fall. In the quarterfinals, the winner of the duel between the favored Belarusian Aryna Sabalenkova and the Russian Anna Blinkova awaits her.
On Monday, Siniak played a two-and-a-half-hour battle with the American Bernanda Pera, in which she made nine double mistakes, among other things. Today, however, the Czech fedcup national team was much more confident in serving, unlike the opponent, who finished the first set with three double errors in one game. When Alexandrovová was handed over, Siniaková turned the third sword ball with a forehand-plated pass.
Macháč near the French Open
Tomáš Macháč shares one win at Roland Garros from his premiere participation in the main competition of the grand slam tournament. The nineteen-year-old native of Beroun, on the clay clay in Paris, defeated the so-called Go Soed from Japan 6: 3, 6: 3 in the second round of qualification and advanced to the final round.
The second match was the final one for 35-year-old Lukáš Rosol. The two-time Davis Cup winner had to give up the match with the American Michael Mmoh at 6: 7, 1: 3.
Macháč, who holds the 252nd place in the ATP Tour standings, has not lost a hundred at the premiere in the grand slam qualification. He beat the much better-ranked Soed (121st) in an hour and a quarter. The Czech talent will compete for promotion to the main competition with the Portuguese Frederic Ferreira (193rd in the ranking) on Friday.
