AO ’24 #06

Melbourne R1 – Best way to crack Alexandrowa is to push her to the edge of a third-set tiebreaker. If it’s narrow the Russian is known for showing nerves at the last meters. Today she looked consistant until the very end. Yet Siegemund manages to slip through by a hair after showing one more time, what a gorgeous fighter she is. Tough task for the other German campaigner as well. Tatjana Maria was utterly happy and relieved after her match point against much younger Colombian talent Osorio Serrano.

Remarkable as well:

Golubic def Kudermetova by 76⁴ 16 61. And Yastremska, who I always saw as struggling after her doping ban, today manages to mercilessly dismantle no one less then Vondrousova by 61 62.
