In the round of 16 of the Ladies Open in Lausanne (WTA 250), everything started badly for Jil Teichmann (WTA 124). Her opponent, Alizé Cornet (WTA 70), quickly broke her and took off in the first set. Miserly in mistakes, the Niçoise capitalized on Teichmann’s unpaid risk taking. Often, the Bienne found a good length in the exchanges but ended up cracking when it was necessary to start flirting with the lines. On the other side of the net, Cornet did not hesitate to convert the break points that were available to her. The verdict was final, 6-1 after 30 minutes of play.
One-sided, the second set was also one-sided…in favor of Teichmann this time. Suddenly, Alizé Cornet’s legs felt heavy. The seeded number 7 multiplied the errors and found himself unable to hurt his opponent. Teichmann conceded only one small game to her rival, now she was back in business.
Face-offs offered
A strange ending followed. The two players made endless compliments on their face-offs during the third set. Breaks and debreaks galore, until Teichmann found herself in a strong position, 4-3 service to follow. But again, the return won out over the serve and the Swiss missed a golden chance to bang her fist on the table. The train would not pass twice. Cracking once again on serve, Teichmann was down 6-4 in the third set.
“I was nervous in the third set, but I made sure to manage my emotions”, welcomed at the time of the interview, the one who had knocked down another Swiss the day before, Viktorija Golubic in the occurrence. Cornet now has an appointment with her compatriot Diane Parry in the quarters. There are no more Swiss representatives left in the table.
