Plíšková won the Czech duel with Vondroušová in Rome and advanced to the finals against Halepová

Karolína Plíšková After the coronavirus break, two tournaments in New York did not take place, but she had already tuned in to the winning streak in Rome, as she had already won four consecutive matches.

After Barbora Strýcová, Anna Blinková and Elise Mertensová, she dealt with her compatriot for the second time in the tournament, when she lost 6-2 6-4 to Markéta Vondroušová in today’s semifinals and increased her lead in the mutual balance to 2-0.
In the general of the translated Roland Garros, the 28-year-old Czech tennis player will play for the second title of the season after the January victory in Brisbane and for the 17th overall in her career.

Plíšková is experiencing a successful week in Rome after returning from the United States, where she failed to restart the season. She lost her first match at the tournament in New York and was eliminated at the US Open as the number one in the second round.

“Everyone says how badly I ended up in America, but I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t feel that way. You don’t always have great results to feel good about yourself. Just traveling there was a big step, so maybe that’s why I feel better here, “said Plíšková.

With the current world number two Simona Halepová Plíšková has a negative balance 4-7but the last two mutual duels won last year.

“Clay is still its surface, not mine, but I’ve already beaten it on it. It will be very difficult, because it’s a fighter. It’s never easy with her, but it will be a great final,” said Plíšková.

Today, the highest-ranked Romanian woman Halep defeated the Spaniards after a battle of more than two hours Garbiňe Muguruzaovou 6-3 4-6 6-4 and won the thirteenth game in a row at the WTA circuit. She came to the Italian capital as the champion of the August Prague Open tournament and before the long coronavirus break in February she ruled in Dubai.

Doubles in the Italian capital won by Barbora Strýcová with Su-Wei Hsieh, which won their fourth title of the season.
