Daria won her sixth match in a row
Ukrainian tennis player Daria Snigur beat the Greek Despino Papamihail in the first round of qualification French Open (Roland Garros).
The match lasted one hour and 22 minutes. The Ukrainian, seeded 17th in qualifying, led the first set 5:2, but allowed her opponent to level the score. And yet, Daria took hers in the 12th game, converting a set point on the fourth attempt.
In the first five games of the second set, the tennis players regularly lost on their serves. But after that, Snigur took all the remaining games and advanced to the next round.
For Daria, this victory was already the sixth in a row. Let us remember that in early May she became the champion of the ITF series tournament in Georgian Lopota.
Earlier, Katerina Beindl lost her match at the start of the Roland Garros qualification, and Vitaly Sachko failed to advance in the men’s bracket. Today in the quarterfinals of the qualifications Yulia Starodubtseva (29) and Katarina Zavatskaya will play against each other.
Let us remind you that five Ukrainians entered the main draw of Roland Garros. The first racket of Ukraine, Elina Svitolina, who received the 17th tournament number, will perform at the Grand Slam clay tournament. Also on the application list are Marta Kostyuk (No. 26), Angelina Kalinina (No. 32), Dayana Yastremskaya (No. 33) and Lesya Tsurenko (No. 41).
