Brews in the third round in a hurry
Alexander Buthskik – Tristan Schoolkate 6: 3, 6: 3, 6: 3
It has been known at the latest at the French Open that Alexander Budikik plays rapid, varied, wild and unpredictable tennis at the latest since his quarter-finals. There is always something going on at Bulik. There is always something to see at the Budik. With the Budik, however, it can also be really fixed. Because the Kazache likes to press the pace.
As in his second-round encounter in New York against Tristan Schoolkate. There it was really in a hurry, pulled the tooth early on his opponent and, in the end only 1:43 hours of play at the end, did not give up the question at any second who would end the place as the winner. The result of Budiks’s speed tennis: 6: 3, 6: 3, 6: 3. The Kazakh should be expected at the US Open this year.
Keys conveyor fails in the match tiebreak
Renata Zarazua – Diane Parry 2: 6, 6: 2, 6: 7
Thursday in New York is currently the day of the match tie-breaks. One that also had to go through this mental test in the decisive sentence is Renata Zarazua. In the first round, the Mexican was able to conquer Madison Keys completely surprisingly, but now she could not build on her first-round success.
In a real marathon match, Zarazua lost her second round against Diane Parry in 2:46 hours with 2: 6, 6: 2 and 6: 7. The match tiebreak went 10: 7 to the French woman, who now benefits from the early departure of Keys by winning the Mexican and now meets the Marta Kostyuk, placed in position 28.
Khachanov loses in the match tiebreak after 2-0 lead
Karen Khachanov – Kamil Majchrzak 6: 2, 7: 6, 4: 6, 5: 7, 6: 3, 6: 7
When Karen Khachanov is in bed tonight, the Russian should certainly wonder how what happened on the US Open that day. And if the number nine of the seed list pondered longer, it could be a long and sleepless night for Khachharov. Because the fact that the Russian is not in the third round, he has to attribute himself.
Against outsiders Kamil Majchrzak, he was already in the lead with two sets, had everything under control from the outside, but then became agile-which his opponent from Poland used directly to the 2: 2 set compensation. In the decisive fifth set, Khachanov was even at the front with a break, had a total of five match balls, did not use any of them and therefore had to go into the match tie-break. There Majchrzak really turned up, played the favorite on the wall and used his first match ball with a volley directly to 10: 5. In the third round, the Pole now meets the Swiss Leandro Riedi – he also sensationally beat Francisco Cerundolo in five sets. So there is now the large outsider duel.
Siegemund fights in round three
Laura Siegemund – Anastasia Zakharova 6: 4, 6: 2
Laura Siegemund gilded her success in the first round against the Diana Shnaider, which was set to number 20 and is in the third round at the US Open. In the second round, the 37-year-old defeated the Anastasia Zakharova listed at number 90 in the world rankings in the world rankings with 6: 4 and 6: 2. The start for the Metzinger was quite bumpy.
Early victory was 1: 4 in the first set behind, but then found their game and fought back into the game. In the further course of the match, opponent Zakharova made just two games and victory was allowed to celebrate her third-round feed after 1:48 hours. After the Russian Shnaider and the Russian Zakharova, the next round will meet the meeting with the, of course, Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova.
