US Open: Women’s singles lost another favorite, Bartyová: It’s frustrating – ŠPORT.sk

Rogers defeated the renking leader for the first time in her career, and she couldn’t have timed it better. She met Baryta five times this year, losing twice in the secret.

“This time I said to myself that I didn’t want to lose again. I tried to do things a little differently. In the first set, I was very patient with her submissions because she doesn’t get used to it. I think it went well.” Rogers told the WTA website, whose tactics came out and you succeeded 6: 2 in the first place.

Then, however, Barty took the initiative and left the opponent practically useless until the ninth game of the third set. “She has definitely improved in the second and third sets. She is not a world unit for nothing. But then I hardened and went after the winning strokes, that’s tennis I like and my opponent wanted it. She tried to run away and force me to mistakes, “ Rogers said.

But then the American caught her second breath, equalized to 6: 6 and turned the first sword ball into a secretary. After the match, Barty admitted that losing a 5: 2 lead in the third set is something that will be difficult to deal with:

“When you have several opportunities to end a match with your submission and you fail, it’s always disappointing. It’s hard to swallow. I tried to turn it in my favor, but it just didn’t work. It’s frustrating, but we have to keep going. “

For Rogers, the triumph over Barty has a special flavor. The American admitted that her opponent in the 3rd round belongs to her role models: “I have to thank her because I learned a lot from her. I make notes about the players, I follow them and half of my notes are about Ash.”
