Eva Lys underpins her strong development with her quarter -final appearance in Beijing. In the end, the Hamburg native lacked little against Coco Gauff.
After the game, Eva Lys hugged the winner Coco Gauff on the net, loosely chatted with the French Open winner and then said goodbye with a smile on her lips from the audience in Beijing. The 23-year-old tennis hopeful from Hamburg was initially not noticeable after the missed semi-finals in the Chinese capital.
“She is really a strong opponent and landed some incredible blows from the run,” said Gauff about Lys, who had once again underlined her development in an exciting duel.
In the 3: 6, 4: 6 defeat, German number two kept with it for a long time. In the end, Gauff’s class decided in the crucial moments.
Lys, who refers to himself as a “head person”, seemed to enjoy her appearance on the Center Court and played with passion and a lot of energy. Although she missed her first participation in the preliminary round at a WTA event in the highest category, she still takes many educational experiences.
