Tennis player Barbora Kryjikova of China swept Cheng Sai-sai 6: 2, 6: 0 at the start of the tournament in Rome, and in the second round she was placed in the quadruple Quartet Sofia Keninova of the USA. On the other hand, Markéta Vondroušová was eliminated in two groups, in a duel that was interrupted for three hours by rain, losing 4: 6, 2: 6 to Australian Ajla Tomljanovičová.
Krejčíková, the 40th player in the standings, dominated the match aggressively from the start. In the first set, she broke the Chinese women’s service twice, and in the second set she added another break, without allowing her opponent to break the ball once.
She only allowed her opponent to nine chips when she served, and she spent just over an hour on the court.
The winner of the two Grand Slam titles overcame Cheng Sayai in a second match. Krejčíková has yet to compete with last year’s Australian Open champion Keninova.
The preferred candidate’s role in the ranking has not been confirmed by the world’s No. 21 player, Vondroušová. She lost 4: 6, 1: 4 with the finalists Tomlianovikova, when the match was interrupted for three hours due to rain.
In overtime, the Czech tennis player did not make the role and after Stuttgart and Madrid, she recorded her third defeat in the WTA Tour in a row.
