Tennis madness on Court 12! Belinda Bencic is on the brink of a crushing first-round elimination once morest Wang Qiang before she can turn things around. The falling darkness postponed the decision of the game until Tuesday.
The Chinese shows her strength early on when the Olympic champion serves. Nevertheless, Bencic leads 4: 2, but Wang wins four games in a row, taking the first set.
From Bencic’s point of view, the second set continues just as badly. Wang beats winner following winner and immediately pulls away 4-0. Despite the crowd’s encouragement, Bencic is growing frustrated. The world number 140 always seems to find an answer to their attempts.
But Bencic is not that easy to get down. When the score was 1:5, the punches suddenly landed in the field, with Wang making mistakes. The woman from Flawil makes a crazy turn, wins six games in a row and wins the second set 7:5! The deciding sentence follows on Tuesday.
