Svitolina after wake -up call in the quarter -finals
Jasmine Paolini – Elina Svitolina 6: 4, 6: 7, 1: 6
The French Open are the last major tournament, which is still very classic in important decisions, traditionally on line judges and the chair referee. From, not from people here is still decided here. Sometimes, however, significantly simpler tasks are part of how the round of 16 between Jasmine Paolini and Elina Svitolina showed. But these can also have an enormous importance.
When Svitolina, who is now back in 14th place in the world rankings after her baby break, missed the beginning of the match and then led to the wrong side on the wrong side, she had to be “awakened” with triple “Elina, Elina, Elina” address by chair referee Marija Cicak. A wake -up call with effect: After the loss of the first sentence, the mom of the little Skai literally turned up, won the tie -break in the enormously exciting second set after three defeated match balls, made everything clear in the third set after 2:20 hours and is now in the quarter -finals.
