The second day of the tournament in Guadalajara provided great emotion. Top seed was Emma Radocano (WTA 12), who ran the marathon with Daria Savile (WTA 610) in the first round. The Brits missed a 7:5, 3:0 lead and eliminated in the third set. Tennis players spent three hours and 36 minutes on the court. It’s the longest game of the season. Previously, this match was the confrontation between Danka Kovinic and Soo Jeong Jang at the Australian Open. The Montenegrin representative won in a ratio of 6:3, 2:6, 6:4 after three hours and nine minutes.

In the first set of Raducan it returned 1:3. Only the seventh set ball was used. In the second match, the British were 3-0 ahead. At 5:3, I worked to win. Savile, who has recovered from health issues, was the world’s 20th racketeer, breaking the tie, scoring six of the next seven points from 1-3.

There were also fluctuations in the third party. Both suffer from physical weakness. Savile suffered from cramps in her legs. Raducanu went out in 2:0 and took a three point break at 3:0, but lost 2:3 a few moments later. The US Open champion requested a medical break. During the eighth match, the British woman suffered scratches due to an injury to her left thigh.
