A nice ace to turn the tide.
Only 1h09 of play on Philippe-Chatrier, what a demonstration against the American Navarro. The Belarusian was notably unplayable on serve.
After winning the first set 6-4, the Russian transformed into Elina “Evanescente” (sorry, it was too tempting), falling completely behind, with a game taken over the next two sets on the Lenglen (0 -6, 1-6). We will therefore find Jasmine Paolini for her first quarter in a Grand Slam, at still 28 years old.
3-0 for the Belarusian against the American Emma Navarro on the Philippe-Chatrier, with a double break. Suspense may not be the key word of the day at Roland Central this Monday.
6-0 in the second set on Lenglen for the Italian, who is aiming for her first quarter-final at Roland-Garros, and even at the Grand Slam. The Russian Avanesyan takes a bathroom break right away, probably also to cut some of this terrible dynamic for her.
