The two Spanish players defeated Lesia Tsurenko and Clara Tauson without too much shine
It was not known how Paula Badosa and Garbiñe Muguruza would land in New York and although it was difficult for them to start their debut, they took victories that placed them in the second round of the US Open. The first to advance was Muguruza, who took her fourth win since April by beating Danish Clara Tauson 6-3, 7-6 (5) in two hours of play. Muguruza, who won just one game on the North American tour prior to the US Open, showed a more relaxed and calm image, scoring the first set with a high level of tennis. He didn’t give up his serve once and saved the two break chances he had against. The second set was much closer, with the Dane, who was number one in the junior world, more in the game.
She came back from a break against the Spaniards and had three set points in her favor in the tenth game that Muguruza had to deactivate to avoid being forced into a reckless third set. He also flirted with it by going 0-3 behind in the tiebreak, but Muguruza saved his own heartbreak, taking seven of the last nine points to reach the second round of the tournament and his first Grand Slam win since the first. round to get. of the tournament’s last Australian Open. Muguruza, for example, avoids a third consecutive Grand Slam elimination after falling on his debut at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
The pupil of Conchita Martínez will face Czech Linda Fruhvirtova, 17, who comes from the previous stage on Thursday and knocked out Xin Wang 6-3, 6-4 in the first round.
Planted in New York with early losses in Toronto and Cincinnati, Badosa nearly fell for the third straight tournament in the first round, but reacted in time to defeat Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko 3-6, 7-6 ( 4) and 6-3.
The Spaniard, who finished fourth in the tournament, lost the first set and, despite breaking her rival’s serve four times in the second set, gave up her own four times to lead the match to a tiebreak. There Badosa, who started with a mini-break against, won five points in a row from 1-2 and in the third set the match equalized.
He got rid of the nerves and made a much more complete third set, in which the advantage he took 4-2 was final. He had one last scare, yes, by saving a breakball on his penultimate serve and a 0-30 against in the last game. With this win, Badosa equals his best result in New York, which he achieved last year when he also reached the second round.
