____________________________________________________________________________________
As expected, the match distinctive physical conditions Janowicz (203 cm) and Isner (208 cm) was a duel to the powerful services. The first batch until the tie-break, both won quickly gems with their own administration. 24-year-old resident of Lodz played confidently, frequently used shortcuts, which admittedly was coming rival, but then used the effective Pole is missed.
In the tie-break players alternately they sent a very strong rival party sites. At one by Janowicza ball flew at a speed of 232 km / h. After a long exchange (3-3), which ended in victory resident of Lodz, the clenched fist triumphantly. A few minutes later, he stood before the first opportunity at the end of the set. Not used, however, neither this nor the next four, which zemściło up after a while, when the first such opportunity has completed his rival.
This turn of events badly affected the Pole . Wimbledon semi-finalist of the 2013 years frequently committed simple errors, which previously managed to avoid. After one of them angrily sent the ball into the stands, for which he received a warning. Already losing 1: 3, but he managed to minimize losses (3: 4).
I still firmly serving Isner (the whole meeting, sent 22 aces, with 12 rival) consistently aimed to win. In the ninth gemi Janowicz asked for challenge. When it turned out that this is not possible due to technical problems, offered to lend your own laptop. American advantage in the next match fought from the first ball.
It was the first confrontation 43 in the ATP rankings with an American resident of Lodz, which is the 18th racket of the world.
The historic victory Radwanska
Earlier Agnieszka Radwanska Serena Williams won 6: 4, 6: 7 (3-7) 6: 1.
Krakowianka at the very beginning had two chances to break, but this time the leader of the worldwide list of trouble emerged unscathed. Radwanska good move on the court, played carefully and tried to dominate. This resulted in effect – two in a row “breaks” and running a 4: 1. Contributed to this also rival that in the last action, having an easy ball and sent it into the net.
Only then Williams woke up and started to play better. Worked almost all loss (3: 4), but Polk did not let myself get in the party’s victory.
The next course was very balanced. Thomas Wiktorowski ward at state 2: 2 five times had the opportunity to win a gem when administered opponents listed above. This, however, and this time we defend himself. American simple errors (after which she popped her head) alternated with highly accurate zagraniami right on the line. Polka also demonstrated some impressive beats, and one met with him applause from both sitting in the stands Jerzy Janowicz, as well as on … rival.
25- year-old player had a chance to be the end of the match in two sets, as took the lead 6: 5, and after a while she was serving. Williams did not give up, well returnowała and led to a tie-break. In it maintained its focus, and some gifts gave her opponent.
American reciprocated her profusely them (the whole meeting made up 59 unforced errors, while 19 side Polka) in the decisive set. Radwanska, who had returned to good use, and used it carefully – to the delight of the assembled crowd of Polish fans – it smashed the 6: 1.
– To be honest, from the beginning I played very well, tie-break does not compromise, as I wanted to, but in the third set I played really well. I feel like I’ve played in Poland! I see more white-and-red flags than a year ago. I hope that we will get the cup, but this is still a long way to go. I’ll watch the match George and keep our fingers crossed for him – to ensure krakowianka.
Radwanska WTA tournaments so far faced with the younger of the Williams sisters eight. Fifth on the world list Polka succeeded in confrontations with the leader of the ranking to win a total of only one set (in the Wimbledon final in 2012).
A year ago, did not managed
Polish unofficial world championship mixed teams debuted a year ago. Then Radwanska and Grzegorz Panfil, who replaced the injured Janowicz, reached the final. In it succumbed to 1: 2, France.
Williams has a chance to become the first ever three-time winner of the event. She was happy with the success already in 2003 and 2008 (at the time of its partners – respectively – James Blake and Mardy Fish). US team has scored a total of six titles (in the composition of the team that triumphed in 2011 was Isner).
