US Open, 1st round, women
Svitolina – Friedsam – 2:0 (6:3, 6:1)
The Ukrainian spent only an hour to defeat her opponent in two sets. In the first game, the German tennis player kept pace with Svitolina only in the opening. But already in the fifth game, Friedsam gave up the game on her own serve.
With a strategic advantage, the Ukrainian tennis player quickly went one point away from completing the set in her favor. With the score 5:3 in favor of Svitolina, the serve went to the German. She took the lead 40:0, but the titled Ukrainian bounced back and converted a set point on the first try.
Further more. Svitolina started the second game with five games won in a row. Only with such a handicap in the asset, the first racket of Ukraine allowed herself to relax. Friedsam soaked the account, but the Ukrainian did not allow her more. Svitolina, for the third time in a set, completed her own serve “under zero” and closed the game, the game and the match.
In the next round, the rival of the domestic tennis player will be the winner of the confrontation between the neutral Russian woman Pavlyuchenkova and the American Crowley. Their full-time duel will take place on Wednesday night.
