Magda Linette started the concert at midnight. 6:0! A spectacular performance
The Poznań player was the only Pole in the group. Unfortunately, Magdalena Fręch lost her first match in Mexico. The weather conditions did not help, and the break due to rain could have thrown her off her rhythm. In the end, the first set went as she had hoped. Ultimately, she lost after more than two hours of play to Elina Awanesian 6:4, 3:6, 3:6. Linette avoided such a long match.
Magda Linette won a set to zero! She was getting better by the minuteIt was midnight in Poland when our tennis player entered the court, starting the competition in the WTA 500 tournament in Merida. She had played the Italian twice before. She came out on top in 2022 in Tampico 7:6, 4:6, 6:1, only to lose in Madrid in 2024 in three sets. The rematch turned out to be exceptionally successful.
After first-round exits in Brisbane, the Australian Open and Dubai, she could only call herself a decent performer after two wins in Doha. Now she adds a triumph in Mexico.
Cocciaretto lost her first service game, and then it quickly became 3:0. She managed to break Linette twice, but then the Pole was more careful and saved several break points. As a result, she led to the first set point and used it right away.
Being in the lead, the Poznań player was able to relax and easily showed her great skills. She played so well that she added games without having to play for an advantage. It was already 4:0 when the Italian showed minimal resistance. She was close to the first score in this set, but Linette turned the situation around with spectacular actions and was already leading 5:0. She dotted the i's after 1 hour and 24 minutes of play. She used the first match point and is already in the second round of the tournament.
In Merida, she could have faced Maria Sakkari, but the Greek sensationally lost to the 22-year-old player from Turkey. Zeynep Sonmez won against the 8th seeded player 7:5, 6:2 and will want to prove her good form in the duel with the Pole. The organizers have not yet announced the start time of this match. If the 33-year-old wins, she will face the Polish player in the quarterfinals.
Already in the second round, the Pole may play against Maria Sakkari, and in the quarterfinals she may face Emma Navarro, seeded number one.
