Date:

Fortune likes the Kazakh Elena Rybakina did not appear in the round of 16 match due to illness. Chance determined the classification for the doubles quarters due to the disqualification of the Japanese Katowho accidentally hit a ball boy in the head with a ball.

Everything went well Sarah Sorribes at this Roland Garros. Chance had his share, more or less anecdotal, but his fate also worked. They were off the slopes for six months because of a scaphoid fracture in his right foot, which reappeared in April.

The 26-year-old from Castellón and world No. 132 (it was 32 in February 2022, his best ranking), confirmed his hunger for tennis by stroking as the ninth Spaniard in the Roland Garros quarterfinals, which he came with a difficult. previous record of one win and five losses.

He stroked the pass in the quarterfinals when he commanded for a set and with four balls 4-0 in the second. But it escaped. Agónica was defeated by the Brazilian Beatriz Haddad-Maia through 6-7 (3-7), 6-3 and 7-5 in 3h.51′. The third longest women’s match in professional tournament history. The record is 4h.07′.

The woman from Castellón has shown hunger for tennis since coming back in the first set, when she was down 2-5. He got rid of his nerves, went for the rival with a 3-0 run in games (5-5) winning twelve out of thirteen points, eight in a row. He had to make a new effort to reach the ‘tiebreak’ and control it 7-3 in one hour and eight minutes.

The pressure before a golden opportunity weighs on each other, within a generous match, with everything they have at all times. Four balls of 4-0 have you smile in the second set, a 40-15 and two advantage. He didn’t finish, the Brazilian went 3-6. Spent 2h.25′ in Suzanne Lenglenand the balance is balanced.

Sorribes put claw, more hit Haddad-Maia. Silvia Soler’s student gave every ounce of strength and character to save three match balls at 3-5. Give yourself a new chance. The Brazilian grabbed it, doubling his effort: more winners (65-35) and unforced errors (65-31).
