Two-time Wimbledon winner Kvitová made seven double mistakes in the first set, she failed and lost service in the fifth game. At 4: 5, she faced a setball at the opponent’s serve, but turned it away and leveled with her break. The balanced set reached the tie break, in which the Czech Republic already dominated. Despite the initial double error, she won 7: 3. “The first set was difficult. I fought with my opponent, but also with myself. There was a lot of nerves,” the Czech tennis player commented on her performance in a video conference.
Thus, Kvitová broke the resistance of the Ukrainian tennis player. In the second set, she improved her service, refined the game, and allowed Kozlov only two games. In total, Jiří Vaňek’s charge scored 33 victories. “I think the second set was really good. I served much better and I hit the punches cleanly, there weren’t that many mistakes,” Kvitová added. In the next match, Jessica Pegula, the winner of Marie Bouzková, awaits her in the opening round of the tournament.

Twenty-one-year-old Vondroušová also confirmed at the New York Grand Slam that she was not succeeding after the coronavirus break. The current world nineteen before the US Open lost in Palermo and in the general in New York in the first round. This time she overcame the initial obstacle, but on Wednesday she already hit. “Today was a bad day. I showed up more or less, she didn’t even have to play much,” Vondroušová told a Czech conference in a video conference.
Even with breakball’s chances, when she could turn the match around, she failed. “In general, I spoiled the returns today, it wasn’t optimal. When I needed to get the ball there, I didn’t get it there,” she complained. It does not repeat the eighth finals from 2018, when it last appeared on the local concrete courts.
