Lys and Siegemund convince at US Open
Lys still feels her back, victory plays played with a bandaged thigh. But both tennis players cannot be stopped at the start of the US Open.
With convincing ideas, the tennis players Eva Lys and Laura Siegemund provided German bright spots at the US Open. Australian Open-Echtel finalist Lys won her opening game in New York against the British qualifier Francesca Jones after a glamorous start with 6: 0, 7: 5. Siegemund fought for 7: 6 (7: 3), 2: 6, 6: 3 against the favorite Russian Diana Schnaider and thus linked her strong results from the quarter -finals in Wimbledon.
“Providing people a good show makes me feel good,” said Lys. “I was able to build a lot of confidence, especially at the last tournaments.”
The family is happy
How much she was happy shows that for her victories at Grand-Slam tournaments are not yet a matter of course despite their sensational run from Australia. She hugged her parents, her younger sister and the German selection chief Rainer Schüttler.
The Hamburg woman was particularly impressed and demonstrated that she had the more fast -paced basic strokes in the repertoire than the initially unless British. The native of Ukrainer Lys has never got past the second round at the US Open. A complicated task is now waiting against the Czech Linda Noskova placed in position 21 to achieve the third round for the first time
There was nothing to see from health problems at Lys. In Cleveland last week she had withdrawn before the quarter -finals – because she hurt her back because of her rheumatic autoimmune disease. “I feel my back, but it’s something I can play with,” she said. Her opponent also plays with a handicap. Jones has four fingers and a total of seven toes due to a gene defect on both hands.
Two out of three German tennis women in round two
Just a few minutes away from Lys from Lys, Siegemund had to work on the next place for significantly longer before she was allowed to pull her arms up. Despite a bandaged right thigh, she stopped her opponent’s success in a good two and a half hours. With the recommendation of Monterrey’s tournament victory, Schnaider had traveled to New York directly in front of the US Open and set 20.
This is a German women’s duo in the second round. The Schwäbin Tatjana Maria was eliminated on Monday.
