See you down under
At 36 years old, Cirstea is an experienced player who will also end her career after the season. Lys also met the Romanian at the Australian Open and lost 6:3, 6:4 and 6:3 after a strong first set. Will the Hamburg woman get her revenge today?

Extreme heat again
Although Lys doesn’t have to play until the evening today, there is still a risk of extreme conditions on the court with temperatures still over 30 degrees. With Sorana Cîrstea, Lys also faces an opponent with whom Lys would probably rather swap the world ranking position with the temperature: 18 degrees would be almost ideal – beating number 18 in the world, on the other hand, is more difficult…

Tennis in the furnace
Eva Lys also became acquainted with the glowing furnace called Rolland Garros. In the first round, the Hamburger had to go onto the court at 2 p.m. and, of all things, in the midday heat of over 30 degrees. “The conditions were very difficult. I drank a lot and was hoping I wouldn’t be the one to tip over,” said Lys. The heat battle ended well: Lys defied the hot temperatures and clearly defeated Croatian Petra Marcinko 6:3, 6:0.
