The number 1 in the world Iga Swiatek made its debut with a firm step this Monday at Wimbledon after losing to first round Chinese lin zhu through 6-1 and 6-3. Swiatek comfortably dominated the match to continue the good feelings he delivered last week in Bad Homburg, when he had to withdraw before the semifinals due to food poisoning.
The Pole added him eleventh consecutive win without giving Zhu an option, which he led from the bottom of the track (22 wins against 7). He did it in the same vein as last week: different directions, hitting hard with both forehand and backhand and trying to gain court position to close points.
with that tonic Swiatek surged from the start on a 5-0 run. He saved two set points from Zhu rest, but Iga closed the initial 6-1 on his serve. A break for 2-1 in the second set seemed to signal the match, but the only game in which Swiatek slightly dropped the level allowed the Chinese player to enter the match.
Of course, in a short time, because the number 1 immediately broke the serve of his rival to take the place at 3-2. Swiatek kept his break until a 4-3 where the rain made an appearance to stop the game and force the roof closed. After a few minutes of break and a change in conditions, Iga held her serve and earned another service break to seal the final 6-3.
In this match, Swiatek continues to add victories and sensations on a grass court where he tries to approve his great pending subject. So far there are four wins on top and eleven in total before the second round where he awaits Martina Trevisan or Sara Sorribes.
