Sara Sorribes Tormo lost this Monday in the first round of the China Open played in Beijing against the second seed in the women’s team, the Polish Iga Swiatek, 4-6 and 3-6 in one hour and 34 minutes.
The equality of the two rackets lasted until the fifth game, where Swiatek took advantage of his fourth break ball to distance a woman from Castellón who only needed one to bring the scoreboard back in line.
But Swiatek, currently number two in the WTA rankings, soon after scored a double 40-0 in a row against Sorribes Tormo (n.55) with his serve in the tenth game he served to confirm his supremacy in the first set played on the Lotus court at the Beijing tennis complex.
The second act begins with the Polish woman taking the first two breaks she has to distance the Spaniard 0-3 in the early stages, showing signs of fatigue, forcing Swiatek to run behind the court for his rival’s strong balls.
Sara Sorribes still managed to steal three serves from the tennis player from Warsaw, but it was irrelevant in front of some numbers on the serve that gave her opponent three more breaks, the third of them after a double fault by the Spaniard where he closed the conflict.
Swiatek will face Frenchwoman Varvara Gracheva in the second round of this WTA 1,000 tournament held in the capital of the Asian giant. (n.48), who defeated Russian Anastasia Potapova (n.27) this Saturday 6-2, 3-6 and 6-1 in one hour and 46 minutes.
