The 2022 Wimbledon Championships continues to be exciting.
July 2, the sixth matchday of the main tournament, was the third round of the round of 16.
A battle of focus between world number one and number one seed Swatak and French veteran Coné, now ranked 37th in the world.
Since the end of the Australian Open, the former world number one Barty suddenly retired, the women's tennis world has not fallen into chaos, Svatek from Poland quickly occupied the world's number one women's singles position, not only the championship trophy was soft, and even reached the invincible realm of solitude.
After reaching the top of the French Open for the second time, the Polish girl has reached 35 consecutive wins, equaling Williams and becoming the player with the most consecutive wins in the new millennium.
After France, Swarteck chose to rest and cool the Burden meadows as a zero warm-up.
Compared with the strength of the French Open, although Gui is the number one favorite, Svatek on the grass field clearly does not have the "brutality" on the dirt field.
After the first round of small test knives, the second round was forced to the third set by more than 100 players ranked in the world ranking, and finally with the hard battle of the decider, it was difficult to pass.
Despite some twists and turns, after the second round, the Polish sister reached the round of 32 with an excellent result of 37 consecutive wins.
It is worth mentioning that Svatek's 37-game winning streak can already rank fifth in the WTA's historical list, tied with Swiss princess Singis, and if he can beat the French veteran Kone in the third round, he will occupy the fifth place in history alone.
Opposite the top seed in the net is the veteran Konai from France.
Koone's style of play is very difficult, is a well-known kraft style of play, excellent movement ability and defensive counterattack skills, is the type of player that many championship-winning favourites are troubled by, the most famous masterpiece is to beat the tennis queen Serena Williams many times in a season.
Therefore, for the world number one that has been caught in the last round of bitter battles, in addition to surviving excessive psychological pressure, how to crack Konai's steady and steady play is a problem that needs to be solved.
Sure enough, as soon as the game came up, the French veteran launched a fierce attack on the world's first serve, and only got a break opportunity, and then broke successfully and gave the top seed a chance to get off the horse.
Coming to his own serve, Konai successfully saved the serve, and the opening break was saved to get a 2:0 lead.
The trailing number one seed continued to sink, she was again taken by the opponent in the third set to get two consecutive break points, hastily shot, rescue failed, suffered a second break, the set score 0:3 behind;
Although in the fourth set, the number one seed who woke up like a dream also broke a set and brought the innings closer, the experienced French veteran did not panic, always grasped the remaining break advantage, and successfully cashed in the tenth set of the serve win, taking the lead.
The world number one behind launched a counter-attack in the second set, and after struggling to save his first serve, he immediately launched an attack on Konei's serve and won the lead of 2:0;
Undeterred, The trailing Koone quickly picked up the break point in Svatek's second serve, and after the speed of light broke back, he chased the score;
The French veteran after the break is getting more and more courageous, and the top seed is a little flustered.
In the fifth set, Koone scored three consecutive points in the world's first serve, got the perfect opportunity to get three consecutive break points, successfully held the second break point, the second break was successful, and the set score was surpassed!
In the seventh set, the world first that was behind began to collapse, and after being broken by the opponent for the third time, it had come to the edge of the cliff at 2:5;
The breath of the earth-shattering cold is getting stronger and stronger.
In the eighth set, the world's first completely lost the sense of resistance in the opponent's serve to win the game, and the Frenchman scored four consecutive points to win the game with a 6:2 victory.
In the end, after 1 hour and 33 minutes of competition, Svatek, the world's number one and the number one seed of the tournament, was blasted out of the cold.
Statistically after the match, today's Swatek completely lost its normal level of play, with a rare 33 unforced errors, compared with only 7 against opponent Kone;
In addition, in the conversion of break points, Konai created 6 break opportunities, efficiently broke the top seed 5 times, and the total score was 69:51, far ahead.
With Svatek being coldly out, the [Swatec problem] that has plagued the women's tennis world for several months was declared invalid, and the world number one who was alone and defeated finally stopped winning streak, and the women's tennis world was no longer "boring".
Congratulations again to Konai, who beat the world's first sister and successfully reached the round of 16!
