BNP Paribas Open: Iga Świątek with winning, the defeat of Magda Linette
The most emotions for Polish fans were really before the meeting. Due to the long, three -hundred fight in the men’s tournament, in which German unexpectedly fell off Alexander Zwieriew (defeat with Dutch Tallon Griekspoor), subsequent meetings moved strongly.

The first set 6: 2 in 36 minutes, the second 6: 0 in 27 minutes. Certainly, this is not how she imagined the match with the defender of the title at Indian Wells Garcia. However, French could only look helplessly at the upcoming tennis execution.
After the match of Świątek – Garcia, the second Polish representative Magda Linette appeared on the court. Poznanianka drew a very demanding rival, coming to Jessica Pegul. The American, however, had problems with an experienced Polish woman, especially in the first set. Linette lost, admittedly, being a little longer on the court than Świątek and Garcia (hour and 16 minutes), but the first set settled with a 4: 6 result can be saved as a plus Polish tennis player. The fourth rocket of the world had to sweat a lot to finally triumph over the Polish woman. In the second set, Pegula has already shown a claw, winning 6: 2 and closing victory in her area.
