(sda) Bencic had a good chance of winning at least one set in his fourth knockout round of the Grand Slam of a young career. But at crucial moments she made some mistakes, especially at the end of the second round. At the score of 5: 4 and with his own service Bencic awarded four balls to set compensation.
Also in the first round, Bencic set the tone against the world ranking tenth, with the best player remaining in the table, leading 3: 1 to eight of the next nine games. Bencic, injured in recent months, has behaved well against the double winner of the Major, who had beaten three times in the three official matches. There was no lack and the game would have run from the close result.
Bencic can be satisfied with the tournament anyway. She defeated two seeded players Carolina Garcia and Carla Suarez Navarro and fought match balls against American Alison Riske. In the world rankings, she will again reach the top 50.
