In the third round of the US Open, the world ranking in the third round of 25 was lost to the Canadian Félix Auger-Aliasseime, 6: 4, 6: 7 (7: 9), 4: 6, 6: 4.

In her third round game against the world ranking twelfth Jekaterina Alexandrowa, the Wimbledon quarter-finalist collected a clap and would have remained almost without gain in 0: 6, 1: 6. “The battery was completely empty. Against someone who plays so well, it is not enough to play one or two good balls,” said the 37-year-old.
