Bitter news for Marketa vonDrousova and all tennis fans: The quarter-final match between the Czech and Aryna Sabalenka does not take place.

Video recordings from the training show how VonDrousova has to break off after a few minutes and cries bitterly. Which injury she puts out of action is currently not yet known. The fact that her opponent also feels, on the other hand: “I am so sorry for marketa, after everything she went through,” wrote Sabalenka on Instagram. Vondrousova always had to struggle with her susceptible body in her career. In 2019 she had to pause for almost a year and a half years due to wrist problems.

Alcaraz continues to last harmless
Jiri Lehecka – Carlos Alcaraz 4: 6, 2: 6, 4: 6
Carlos Alcaraz has clearly lost the speed comparison in the remote duel with Jannik Sinner. After the 1:21 hour short sprint to the quarter -finals of the South Tyrolean on Monday evening, the Spaniard took a proud 35 minutes longer to jump into the semi -finals on Tuesday. To Alcaraz Honorary Rescue: His opponent Jiri Lehecka showed a significantly better performance than Sinner’s opponent the day before. What Alcaraz conjured up on the court of Arthur Ashe stage aggressively and defensively was once again in front of another tennis world.
In any case, it is clear after the overall most high -class match of the tournament: Alcaraz has lost no sentence in New York this year. The way to the title only goes through him. Both are not too much a surprise.
Pegula moves into the semi -finals unhappily
Jessica Pegula – Barbora Krejcikova 6: 3, 6: 3
After her quarter-final match against Barbora Krejcikova on Tuesday, Jessica Pegula was about the same as many students after chemistry lessons in the sixth hour. “I’m just glad it’s over,” she said. The previous year’s finalist had previously shown manageable tennis, but ultimately deservedly won. In the style of a top team, it is often said in football. The main thing was won for Pegula.
And if you are in the semi -finals of the US Open, you can’t have false that much.
