The blue gives 6-2 6-2 to the Russian, but from Monday will reach number 25 in the world
Camila Giorgi’s adventure at Roland Garros ends, overcome 6-2 6-2 in an hour and twenty minutes by the Russian Daria Kasatkina. This is the epilogue of a match that never took off and was decided by the many free mistakes of Giorgi (37) and by the very few committed by Kasatkina (10 in total equally distributed between the first and second set).
The match
–
Camila suffers throughout the first set, she is unable to express herself as she would like and in addition she is ensnared by the opponent who often hits weightless balls on which the Marchesan struggles to lean. Giorgi starts with a double fault, then commits a second one and suffers the inevitable break in the first game. In the third game the sun comes out, Camila cancels the ball that would send her down 3-0 and with three winners she moves the score. The blue replies with his feet well inside the field, but fails to break through. The Russian does not miss a ball (at the end of the first set there are just 5 free errors by Kasatkina), at 2-1 she cancels two balls of the counter break with two winners and at 3-2 a third chance, this time after Camila’s free kick . The Marchesan is unable to change the inertia of the match, not even in the sixth game: an interminable game of 16 points in which she never reaches the break point.
The occasions
–
The bad moment for the blue continues: the break of 4-2 actually closes the first set, that of the third game of the second set seems to mark the rest of the match. Yet Camila would still have the opportunities, like the two break points of the fourth game of the second set, but she does not exploit them, she plays them badly, she commits two more free forehand and the Russian climbs 3-1. It’s the end. Another break, the sixth break point not transformed at 2-5 and the inevitable exit from the field with his head down. On Monday, however, she will go up to no. 25 in the world, her best ranking.
