Ukrainian tennis players lead in the match with Japan – 2:0
Katarina Zawatskaya won Moyuku Uchijima in the second game of the playoff match of the Billie Jean King Cup Japan – Ukraine.
Zavatskaya beat her opponent in 1 hour 40 minutes, making 4 aces, not making a single double fault and winning 100% of the points on the second serve. In the first set, the opponents took all their serves, and in the tie-break, Zavatskaya won 7:3. In the second game, Katarina made two breaks and convincingly brought the matter to victory.
Ukraine took the lead in the match 2:0. Recall that in the opening game, Marta Kostyuk beat Misaki Doi.
Tomorrow Kostyuk will play against Uchijima (the match starts at 06:00 Kyiv time), and Zawatskaya will play against Doi. The duets Kostyuk / Lyudmila Kichenok and Shuko Aoyama / Ena Shibahara should play in the doubles match.
The winner of the match will play in the Billie Jean King Cup Qualifier next year.
In April, the Ukrainian national team consisting of Dayana Yastremska, Katarina Zavatskaya and the Kichenok sisters lost to the USA in the qualification and failed to qualify for the final part of the tournament.
