Due to a major wrist injury, Dayana Yastremska, who was ranked similarly to Emma Raducanu, was unable to continue their first-round match. Dayana Yastremska was two points away from a comprehensive victory at 6-2, 5-3. In any case, it ended up being just her 14th victory of the year and her ninth triumph over opponents ranked in the top 100. The 2021 US Open champion’s year-long slump came to a logical end in the opening round of her title defence campaign in New York, as she was defeated by Alize Cornet, 6-3, 6-3. She is currently bidding for her sixth tour quarterfinal and third of the season after being removed from the top 80.
Anna-Lena Friedsam was down a set and double break after losing the opening nine games to rising talent Elizabeth Mandlik. Then, playing as a qualifier, the former world number 45 planned a clever comeback and destroyed the American’s spirit to win 0-6, 6-4, 6-1. Her ninth victory overall and second in a tour-level main draw since the pandemic. No one has been wowed by the 28-year-old German on the circuit in recent years; her most recent quarterfinal performance was in Lyon in March 2020, and her most recent on an outdoor hard court was in Shenzhen in January 2016.
Emma Raducanu and Anna-Lena Friedsam are scheduled to face each other in the round of 16 of the 2022 WTA Slovenia Open on Thursday, September 15. The tournament is scheduled to begin on September 12 and end on September 18.
