Sabalenka is the first semi -finalist
Aryna Sabalenka – Qinwen Zheng 7: 6, 6: 3
Hawk Eye? Automatic calls from the loudspeaker? Not an issue in Paris. The tournament directors at the French Open continue to rely on line judges and chair referees that decide tricky balls. Keyword: We have always done it that way. But that also means that players can say independently: “I’m sorry, it was in the end, I don’t play further!” Like Qinwen Zheng in her quarter-final game against Victoria Sabalenka on Tuesday.
However, the Chinese had three problems: At this point, it was 5: 6 and 30:30, the opponent Sabalenka’s ball to the baseline was completely harmless-and, most stupid, the ball was also given well by the chair referee. Zheng was then able to ward off the set ball, but afterwards she lost the match. The first set in the tiebreak, the second with 3: 6. And while the world ranking sabalenka, who was always there in the important points, is in the semi -finals, the Chinese should perhaps go too, when you interrupt the rallies – and when not.
