The defender of the crown, the Czech Marketa Vondrousovadid not go beyond his return to the center, in the first round the Galician became known throughout the world Jessica Bouzas champion hunting. The world number one, the Polish Iga Swiatek, didn’t make it past the third round. His great rival on the clay court journey, the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka He didn’t even participate, he was out of the picture due to a shoulder injury.
The number 2 Coco Gauff He also suffered an early setback. The eternal Tunisian contender Ons Jabeur, two disappointing losses in the Wimbledon final, he also left through the back door.
A disaster in the women’s team. The stars that currently have the most traction are left immediately. Although two Grand Slam champions survived, including the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, who will win the tournament in 2022.
I will enter the semifinals after defeating the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina by 6-3 and 6-2. Rybakina, a Russian naturalized Kazakh with a checkbook, is the 25-year-old No. 4, one of the great ones at the moment, but cold as an iceberg. Lack of charisma.
Even his effectiveness at Wimbledon was deadly: 19 wins in 21 matches. A place in the final is at stake for the Czech Barbora Krejcikova, 28 years old and number 32, the surprising champion of Roland Garros 2021, days ago executioner of Bouzas. Injuries cut short his career, which was better in doubles. She came back, she defeated another unexpected former queen of Roland Garros, the Latvian Jelena Ostapenko, by 6-4 and 7-6 (4).
On the other side of the table is the rivalry between the Italians Jasmine Paolini recent semi-finalist in Paris, once again exceeding the expectations of his most famous compatriot Jannik Sinnerand the crota Donna Vekic, who will be with him in the round of 16 Paula Badosa.
