Eva Lys reached the second round of the lawn classic in Wimbledon after a competitive and changeable game. The 23-year-old, who was allowed to go to the square at the start of the tennis tournament in London, defeated Chinese Yue Yuan on Monday in three sets with 6: 4, 5: 7 and 6: 2.
Lys, currently in 55th place in the world rankings, came directly in the game without starting difficulties, quickly secured a break and won the first set after 49 minutes. It was somewhat strange in the first round that the electronic announcements that have now replaced the lines in Wimbledon were too quiet or too incomprehensible for both players on the hustle and bustle side of the large facility in the southwest of London. The problem was only solved when the volume was turned on.
Lys uses third match ball
From the second set, however, the Chinese also turned up and put Lys under more pressure. Although the Hamburg woman already had two match balls in the second round, she still had to hand in the sentence. A setback that Lys could shake off quickly. An early double break in the third set finally brought her to the winning road in this first round match.
After almost two and a half hours in the heat of London, the 23-year-old was finally able to use her third match ball, threw the racket with joy on the lawn after a feast for a feast for a feast for her Chinese opponent and was allowed to cheer about her first victory in the main field of Wimbledon after this effort. “Tomorrow I will surely have an ass muscle soreness,” she joked in an interview with Amazon Prime after the game. In the second round she now meets Czech Linda Noskova.
