After a great performance at the Australian Open, Magda Lynette hit the pit and quickly finished the competition at the WTA tournaments in Merida and Austin. The words of the experts who assessed what happened to the tennis player can be alarming.
After a great performance at the Australian Open, it seemed that Magda Lynette’s career would pick up steam, and reaching the Grand Slam semi-finals would give her a boost for the coming months. Nothing could be more wrong. After a long break, the poznanka took part in the WTA tournaments organized in Merida and Austin, but did not play an important role in any of them. Why?
Magda Lynette failed in Merida and Austin
There has never been a tragedy in Mexico. There, the representative of Poland beat Camilla Osorio (2:1), then dealt with Miss Udvardi (2:0), losing in the quarterfinals to Rebecca Peterson (0:2). However, tragedy struck in the United States. The 32-year-old athlete did not go through a single round, losing after the defeat to Varvara Garcheva (1:2).
Experts, however, are not surprised by this turn of events. Chris Oddo of Tennis Majors proves that the Pole can’t handle the pressure. “There are new expectations both outside and inside that he has to deal with. Some failures are not surprising. The world sees a 21-year-old girl in her and expects better results from her than ever, he said in an interview with sport.pl. Naturally, Oddo considers this assumption incorrect.
Expert warns. Magda Lynette may ‘lose her head’
Mario Boccardi of sprotface.it is a bit less blunt about Magda Lynette’s recent performances. According to him, our compatriot played well neither in Merida nor in Austin, but she was probably mentally tired and that is why she did not perform very well. However, she should not be ashamed of her performances.
On the other hand, the Italian warned against what could happen to the Poznań player in the next stages of this season. “It happens, and now it’s time to think ahead, because reaching the semi-finals of the Grand Slam tournament, beating so many strong opponents, you can lose your head for several weeks,” he said.
Magda Lynette to play in Indian Wells
Oddo also added that Lynette needs more time to get used to the high level she has achieved at the Australian Open. Boccardi said the 32-year-old has the potential to become a regular in the WTA top 20, but her form will change.
The next tournament in which the Pole will start will be Indian Wells. The competition will start on March 6th.
