Arantxa Rus failed to reach the quarterfinals of the Lyon WTA tournament. The 31-year-old tennis star from Monster lost in France in the second round to the Chinese Shuai Zhang: 4-6 4-6.
Rus handed in her service in the first set at 2-2. Zhang survived a breakpoint in the next game and pulled the set to himself. Also in the second set, the Chinese had enough with one break. That didn’t just happen in the third game, by the way. Rus survived no less than six breakpoints at 1-1, but had to give in on Zhang’s seventh attempt.
Last week, Rus, the number 63 in the world, did not get further than the second round in Doha. In it she lost to the Czech Tereza Martincova.
