How the winners of women’s memorial or Grand Slam tournaments play tennis

1/16 final match of the tough tournament of the WTA 1000 series held in Indian Wells (USA) on the night of March 13 Petra Kvitova (Czech Republic, WTA 15) and Alena Ostapenko (Latvia, WTA 25).

The game ended with the Czech three-set win, but the match was marked by the girls’ “incredible” performance.

In the first game, Ostapenko left his opponent no chance by beating his opponent 6:0. But in the second set, the situation changed dramatically – this time Kvitova recorded 6:0. Alena took a medical break and it didn’t look much like a simulation because in the third set Kvitova took the lead 4:0. Looks like two games left, but no…

Ostapenko took two breaks and got his serve twice. The score was 4:4, but the Latvian representative could not complete the comeback – Petra interrupted her serve and calmly applied for the match.
