There was a lot of merit in beating the reigning Wimbledon champion on the center court of the All England Club, who has little experience in Grand Slams and on grass. Even harder to control the euphoria and calm your nerves when you return to reality the next day.
The Galician Jessica Bouzas21 years old and world No. 83, the star in the victory to defeat the Czech Marketa Vondrousova in the opening round, only the second time a defending champion has fallen in his debut. The central European combined his name with a legend, Steffi Grafcaught from the beginning in 1994 by the American Lori McNeil.
The one from Vilagarcía de Arousa went on to impress at Wimbledon two days later. Without the spectators of the first day, but knowing how to assimilate the return to reality, the transition from the impressive center court to No. 4 of the club.
It was difficult for him to bear the pressure, to manage the new responsibility, but he ended up showing his best tennis against a difficult rival because a rivalry between Spaniards always adds more knowledge to the pros and each other’s weakness.
Bouzas defeated the Cantabrian woman of Moldovan origin Cristina Bucsa, 26 years old and world number 64, 7-6 (1) and 6-3 in 1h.50′. And she will have another Grand Slam champion in front of her in the round of 32, a former queen of Roland Garros, the Czech Barbora Krejcikova, who beat American Katie Volynets 7-6 (6) and 7-6 (5).
Third participation in a Grand Slam, second at Wimbledon, Jessica Bouzas shows the talent she has been teaching since the beginning of the campaign.
Another round for the student to dream Roberto Ortega, who spoke to his student after the first set trying to convey calm and security. Their joint work continues to bear fruit. At the moment they did not reach the time for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
The Pontevedra native can still enter if someone drops from the official list of participants published by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). By now the Spanish were settled Sarah Sorribes and himself Cristina Bucsa.
