Australian Open winner Madison Keys failed surprisingly in the first round at the US Open. She lost to Mexican Renata Zarazua.
The Australian Open winner Madison Keys failed in the first round at the US Open. The 30-year-old world rankings from the United States were defeated after an error festival by Mexican Renata Zarazua 7: 6 (12:10), 6: 7 (3: 7), 5: 7.
In the 3:10 hour match at the Arthur-Ashe stage, keys undertook number 82 in the WTA ranking 89 “unforced errors”. For Zarazua it was the first win against a top 10 player.
Zarazua: “I will always remember this game”
The Mexican surprise winner was then modest in the interview, almost apologized for her style of play. Actually, the Arthur Ashe stage is also a “too large stage” for them. “I’m not that big,” she said with a smile. “When I came in here, I thought, oh my god, it’s huge.” She love tennis and tried to concentrate. “I said to myself that I should enjoy the game and that after my career end I will still remember this game,” said Zarazua.
It is quite possible that your first round win will not stay the last at this year’s US Open. In the coming round she meets Diane Parry, who ended in round one Petra Kvitova’s tennis career. The French woman is only the 107 of the world rankings, Zarazua on paper the favorite.
