What to hide, the vice -leader of the WTA ranking from Poland is in a strong blow.
Iga Świątek – Emilian Arango. Very certain victory of the Polish master
She confirmed her form of Christmas during the performance on the largest court in the world, taking into account the capacity, i.e. Arthur Ashe Stadium. Built for $ 254 million, the facility can accommodate a total of over 22,000 fans.
It is sad that taking into account American watches, tennis players appeared on the court around noon, and the stands were rather empty. And it seems that in the case of the performance of the vice -leader of the WTA ranking, it should not be. However, this is not only the US Open problem, but a wider issue, repeatedly raised – also by tennis players themselves, regarding the interest and way of treating female competition.
On the other hand, the match of Świątek with Colombian promised to be a very one -sided spectacle and … that’s what he was. Emotions were like medicine, and trying to survive in various ways, rather extends inevitable. After 13 minutes, the Polish woman broke the opponent, the first Break Point (40:15) and after a few consecutive moments it was 6: 1.
Second set? A similar story, only that Colombian was already broken in the first game (1: 0).
Arango, being a rocket number 84. In the world, she had too little to offer in the offensive to oppose the Polish woman. Interesting, technical play, the use of the court geometry – this was not enough for Świątek. For this reason, the Polish woman decided, finally winning 6: 1, 6: 2.
The rival of Świątek in the second round will be Suzan Lamens. Dutch, who is currently number 66 in the WTA ranking. Right -handed, a 26 -year -old Polish woman, will certainly not be the favorite of the clash on the Flushing Meadows courts.
It is worth adding that looking at Polish accents in the single, Magdalena Fęch and Kamil Majchrzak checked in in the second round. Instead, Magda Linette continues his nightmarish series in the Wielki Slam tournaments, who did not win a single match from … US Open 2023 in this type of event. Unfortunately, it was also not this time.
