Bitter pill for corpatsch
Tamara Korpatsch – Yuliia Starodububtseva 6: 2, 1: 6, 4: 6
The disappointment, the frustration, stood on her face: Tamara Korptsch left after over two hours of hard fight in the 1st round. A request broke after the 30-year-old fought nervously through the qualification. Corpatsch was actually on the rising branch – after worries about injury and athletically weaker times. She has now slipped on the world ranking place 148. But: Korpatsch even had one last week Challenger-Tournament won in Slovakia, which had given her new self -confidence. The recent successes were initially noticeable. With her aggressive and courageous playing style, the native of Hamburg dominated the Ukrainian Yuliia Starodubtseva (No. 81) in sentence one, but then lost the (tactical) thread and still gave the extremely narrow game out of her hand.
Raven -black morning for Navarro
Jessica Bouzas Maneiro – Emma Navarro 6: 0, 6: 1
If the number 9 of the seed list only gains one game in the first round and says goodbye to the tournament with such a crashing defeat, a small sensation is perfect: it was probably one of these days for the American Emma Navarro, which she would like to paint out of the calendar. It should be the 24 year old New Yorker Nothing, but nothing at all – a raven -black morning. The world ranking 68. Jessica Bouzas Maneiro from Spain could hardly believe her luck and is surprisingly in the 2nd round.
