Australian Open | Vondroušová – Samsonová 6: 2, 7: 5, Vondroušová destroyed her opponent and is in Australia in the 3rd round! Bouzková fought, but it ends, Macháč also dropped out

Tournament thirty-one Vondroušová entered the match with Samson very well. She quickly took the lead 4-0 and lost only two games in the first set. In the second set, however, the 22-year-old Czech often struggled with her own service. She lost 1: 3 and 3: 5, but each time with a quick break she kept pace. She took the lead for the first time in the second set when she took Samson’s lead in the eleventh gamma. In a tug-of-twelfth game, Vondroušová averted her breakball and after a few matches with an ace from the second service she turned into a third match ball. Tereza Martincová watched the end of the match in the auditorium, with whom Vondroušová then advanced to the second round of the women’s doubles.

Vondroušová will face Aryna Sabalenková from Belarus to advance to the round of 16, which is her maximum in Melbourne. She defeated the Chinese Wang Sin-yu 1: 6, 6: 4 and 6: 2 in the second round. Vondroušová fought the Belarusian runner four times and won twice. But last time she played only three games with her last year in Miami.

The qualifier Macháč in the duel with the finalist of the preparatory tournament in Melbourne Cressy, who played a balanced match with Rafael Nadal there in the fight for the title, did not catch the beginning. After a fast-losing opening set, however, he stumbled and won the second set thanks to a break in the fourth game. In the third set, however, the 21-year-old native of Beroun again played only one game and had to catch up again.

The fourth set was the most balanced. Macháč lost 5: 6 after losing the serve, but thanks to a great pass at the end of the twelfth game, he took the break back and forced a tie-break. Cressy turned the first swordball into it at 6: 5, when Macháč’s forehand landed behind the baseline. The Czech tennis player in Melbourne repeated last year’s result and did not improve his career grand slam maximum. He lost his first-ever match this calendar year, earning a Challenger title in Traralgon before qualifying for the Australian Open.

It was difficult against the almost two-meter-old American, who relied on excellent service and volleyball. “He’s playing well now, me too, we both went into the match confidently. It wasn’t a bad match. The day before yesterday I played with a clayman who was swinging, exchanges were played, now exchanges weren’t played again. It’s hard sometimes when it’s The match was completely different. But I had a chance. I just had to serve it better, “the 21-year-old Czech told Radiožurnál.

The performance in Melbourne is not over for him yet, because he will take part in a mixed doubles alongside his girlfriend Kateřina Siniaková. They will play as wild card holders. “We thought we could try to ask her when Katka is first in the world in doubles and I managed to qualify twice in a row here. In addition, we were together as a couple. We tried our luck and we succeeded. I’m very happy to be here. I can still train and play the mix for the first time, “he praised himself.

Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková managed to enter the doubles competition smoothly. Netherlands-Australian couple Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove, Arina Rodionova defeated 6: 0 and 6: 2.

Marie Bouzková was the last Czech player to intervene in the game on Thursday. In the duel with Estonian Kanepi, she won the first game, but then her opponent had the upper hand on the court. The Czech Republic lost the serve three times in the opening set and after 33 minutes the set lost by a ratio of 2: 6.

Bouzková also drove the second set with a lost service, but soon caught up with the shortage when she equalized to 2: 2. The joy of the Czech tennis player lasted only a few moments, because she immediately lost the serve and at 2: 4 she had to avert two more breakballs. However, the Czech fighter succeeded, and when she turned the situation to 5: 4 in her favor, she was embroiled in a real drama.

The set reached a shortened game, where the Estonian tennis player had the upper hand from 2: 2 and led the match to a victorious end. Bouzková thus did not improve her current grand slam maximum in Melbourne.
