Taiwan has reason to smile in Australia. Yu Hsiou Hsu is the winner of the Sydney Challenger by beating a Marc Polmans who came to this tournament after overcoming a serious injury some time ago, although that did not prevent his tennis from flowing again in front of his public in a very positive week for the Australian tennis player and that will surely help him recover sensations.
Hsu takes the title
The first set began, and both players seemed very comfortable with their services in the initial stages of the match. The turns of serve followed each other comfortably throughout the first quarter, until the Asian player managed to break the Australian’s serve to take the first set 6-4 and in this way he managed to get ahead in the match by being more successful in the decisive moments of the first set against Polmans’s nerves in the final stages of the set.
The second sleeve lived a totally different script from the first, and Polmans soon took control of the set thanks to his increased aggressiveness and daring. The local tennis player achieved a break that seemed to make clear the change in trend in the match, although things would soon change as the games went by. Yu Hsiou Hsu asserted his solidity from the back of the court, and that caused doubts in Polmans who wasted several set points. The tie-break was going to decide the winner of the second set, and it was there when the tennis player from Taiwan asserted his greater regularity to end up taking the second set and with that he closed the match to achieve his first Challenger title in his tennis career.
