In the decisive elimination duel, Ursula Radwiska (WTA 233) faced Daniel Lau (WTA 238). The Polish women have played six times in the main Wimbledon tournament. The American wanted to qualify for this competition for the first time in her career. Both ladies have never played with each other before, so Friday’s meeting will be very interesting.
Meanwhile, the match lasted only 79 minutes. Lau started brilliantly. She moved around the field better, changing the pace and rhythm of the work. I sent out slide shows and was able to surprise the Krakowians with shortcuts. So it’s no surprise that she made rapid progress in her first and third games. Radwańska only made up for some losses, but the end belonged to the American. She was the one who got the break in the ninth set, finishing the set with a score of 6:3.
In the second game, the game image has not changed. Lau did better in terms of returns and exchanges. It caused a lot of problems for a Polish woman who made more and more mistakes. Although the Krakow player started with a break, she lost another four matches. The group score is higher if the opponent takes all of his chances. The decision came in the eighth game, in which the American finished the fencing with the first game ball.
After the meeting, Lau was very happy with the win. She won 6:3, 6:2 and thanks to this, at the age of 30, she will make her Wimbledon debut. The defeated Radwanska will still have to wait to return to the Grand Slam arenas. She played in the main ladder for the last time in the 2016 Australian Open. After that, her career slowed down significantly due to health issues. Despite this, she still did not give up.
