Vekic defeated Papamihail to put Croatia ahead in the United Cup
Despina Papamihail lost 2-0 (6-2, 6-0) to senior Donna Vekic in 65 minutes as Croatia took a 1-0 lead in the United Cup.
Despina Papamihail lost to senior Donna Vekic 6-2, 6-0 in 65 minutes to give Croatia a 1-0 lead.
Struggling from serve position and unable to follow Vekic’s pace, the Greek tennis player and world No. 158 needed just two games in the match, which, it should be noted, took place in hot conditions .
Papamikhail didn’t threaten Vekic’s serve in any way, while for her part she finished the game with just 52% of the points on the 1st serve (17/33) and 25% on the 2nd (4/16) while recording 7 winners and 19 unforced errors to commit.
For her part, Vekic might have had two more errors (21), but she had 10 more winners (17) while conceding just 12 points on serve.
The pressure on Papamichail was put on early as the Greek tennis player achieved an impressive hold by deleting an initial triple break point (0/40) while then deleting another by holding her serve (1-0).
However, Vekic then found a rhythm and after punishing Papamichael’s second serve, she won the next three games with a 3-1 lead.
The Greek tennis player reduced to 3-2, but this was also the last game won in the game where Vekic went on to win the next 9 (!), achieving victory and handing the lead to the Croatian team.
Next is the big game between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Borna Coric, which can decide a lot about the future.
