Lesya Tsurenko lost in the 1/8 finals of Roland Garros with Iga Sviontek. With the result of the first set 5:1, the Ukrainian reported that she did not feel strong enough to play. It was probably caused by illness.
Iga Sviontek aims for new victories at Roland Garros. The polka has a double motivation, because in addition to the desire to defend the triumph of a year ago, her main rival Arina Sobolenko is getting closer to overthrowing her from the first place in the WTA world rankings. In the 1/8 of the Grand Slam tournament, she met with Ukrainian Lesya Tsurenko.
Lesya Tsurenko scratched in the match with Iga Sviontek
Polka was the undisputed favorite of this match, which she proved from the first minutes. Although she was the first to lose a point, she quickly got into her rhythm and quickly won the first set. She then effortlessly broke her opponent, but won her serve again. It made it 3-0. And Iga did not stop, because, despite the best game of the Ukrainian, she again managed to break it. But then Lesya Tsurenko got down to work, and we had a return break.
After the first game won, the Ukrainian had to take a break for treatment. She had her blood pressure taken and returned to the court some time later, but was unable to win her serve. The Polka again broke her opponent, but the Ukrainian decided to stop, as her health did not allow her to continue the game. Thus, Iga Sviontek, with the result of the first set 5:1, reached the quarterfinals of Roland Garros, where she will fight with the American Coco Gauff, who defeated the Slovak Anna Karolina Shmidlova 7:5, 6:2 in the 1/8 finals.
