Tennis » Leonie Küng (WTA 283) did not make her dream come true in Hua Hin. The 19-year-old Schaffhousoise lost 6-3 6-2 to Poland’s Magda Linette (WTA 42) in the first final of her career on the main circuit. After qualifying for the tournament contested in Thailand, Leonie Küng cannot be ashamed of a defeat suffered against a 28-year-old player who will reach today her best ranking (33rd) with this second title stamped WTA. She simply lacked “punch” during this game, her seventh in nine days on the hard courts of Hua Hin.
The finalist of the painting Wimbledon juniors in 2018, who said they were tired on Saturday after having delivered a second consecutive game of three sets and more than two hours, could never have delighted the coming into play of the powerful Magda Linette. She conceded her own service three times against the Pole in this meeting, which lasted 1 hour 16 minutes. ats
