This is how the French comment on Linette’s victory. It was supposed to be “without offending the Polish woman”

this is a big disappointment for the French. The 29-year-old whetted their appetites with a great season last season, where she won four WTA titles, including the WTA Finals, and advanced to the US Open semi-finals. In Melbourne, she was seeded with four, and was eliminated by a Polish woman, 45th in the ranking.

Frustration, a lot of mistakes, service… The French say that Garcia lost to herself

Magda Linette pointed to the service as the key to victory. I knew I had to serve well. I also felt that its quality is good. At the beginning of the match I had a bit of trouble with that because Garcia punished me for poor serves with good returns. I had to be very focused, stabilized in my service games. It was necessary to react well and quickly to returns –

It is also in the application, but its player, the French media see the reason for her defeat. – Garcia, whose risky play is very dependent on his own serve, was only able to get 49% of his first serve hit. She also committed 33 unforced errors on 27 winners, against Linette’s 14 unforced errors and 25 winning strokes, according to French daily Le Parisien.

– That night, “Flying Caro” remained grounded – wrote the local branch of “Eurosport”, for which the Frenchwoman herself is to blame. – Of course, Magda Linette defeated her, but without offending the Polish woman, Garcia mostly lost to herself – they say.

On the other hand, “L’Alsace” draws attention to the growing nervousness of the world’s fourth racket during the match. – In the second set, Garcia repeatedly showed her growing frustration by slamming her racquet to the ground or saying, “I can’t take it anymore!” – we read in the diary.

The Australian Open remains the worst Grand Slam tournament for the 29-year-old Frenchwoman. Round four equals her best score of 2018. In turn, the Polish woman will face Karolina Pliskova in the quarterfinals of the event.
