Xinhua News Agency, New York, August 30 (Reporter Pan Yi) continued on the 30th beautiful grenadine in the high temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. In the second round of women’s singles, Chinese player Wang Yafang lost No. 5 seed in the 5:7, 3:6 defeat competition, Czech player covitova, missed the top 32. German star Kobel advanced after experiencing the “roller coaster”-like competition process.
The 28-year-old corvitova won the Wimbledon championship in 2011 and 2014, with strong hitting power and fierce serve. Wang Yafang, who ranked 90th in the world of women’s singles, once fought with covitova on the China website in 2016, and covitova also won 2:0 at that time.
At the beginning of the duel on that day, Wang Yafan was a little nervous, and the first game was broken. Covitova soon led by 4:1. At this time, Wang Yafan gradually adapted to the opponent’s serve, and began to mobilize the opponent from a large angle. Even breaking the belt insurance also played a round of 4:1 counterattack, and the local battle was 5:5. However, covitova, who had better strength and experience, quickly made adjustments, and Wang Yafan’s mistakes increased again. In the second set, covitova was still the first to win The Voice and firmly grasped the initiative. Although Wang Yafeng played tenacious, there was a significant gap in strength and handling shots. The whole game took 1 hour and 46 minutes.
After winning the third round of beautiful grenadine for 7 consecutive years, covitova said: “Today’s game is more difficult than expected. The temperature on the court is too high. At some moments in the first set, I felt lost and unable to control myself.”
Another game in the second round of women’s singles on that day revealed the “roller coaster” plot. This year’s Wimbledon champion, the beautiful grenadine champion in 2016, and the world’s fourth-ranking German star Kobel nearly ruined the good situation when they confronted Larson, the 83th Swedish player in the world.
Kobel was easily taken down at 6:2 in the first set, and when 5:2 in the second set led sharply and had already held the match point, he was reversed by Larson’s dramatic rescue. In the second set, Larson won 7:5. Larson’s magic seemed to continue to the third set, but Kobel stabilized the situation with his fierce serve and rich experience, and finally won the round by 6:4.
Kobel said after the game: “Today we all played a very high level, and the final decision is usually that one or two balls.”
Men’s and women’s doubles continued, and mixed doubles also started the competition. On the same day, Wang Yafang also joined the first round of the women’s double, but they lost a pair of American and Australian combinations with 3:6 and 0:6.
