Last year’s winner Roland Garros Krejčíková took the service in the first German game and immediately lost her own service. She has not lost a game since 3: 2 and, with the help of 28 winning strokes, advanced after an hour and seven minutes of play. The next opponent of the tournament four will be Wang Si-yu from China, currently the 137th player in the world, who received a wild card in the main competition.

Veselý did not use any of the four breakballs in the match with Kozlov, the 168th player of singles in the ATP rankings. He lost service once in each set and dropped out in two and a half hours. “Everything was wrong. I didn’t feel in my skin from the beginning, I woke up in the morning with a sore back, but I don’t want to blame it at all. I ruined a lot of light balls. The opponent had an excellent defense, but he was defeated, 0 : 3 is a great misery, “Veselý told Radiožurnál.
