Badosa debuts at Wimbledon with victory in another long day with stoppages and lack of light

Eliminations of Bautista and Sorribes, and postponements of the matches of Carballés and Párrizas

MADRID, 5 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa defeated the American Alison Riske-Amritraj by a double 6-3 this Wednesday for her debut in the Wimbledon tournament, the third ‘Grand Slam’ of the season, during another very long day with breaks and who lived the eliminations Roberto Bautista and Sara Sorribes, respectively, at the hands of the Russian Roman Safiullin and the Polish Iga Swiatek.

In total there were 87 matches scheduled on the grass of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, due to the rain that had caused several postponements the day before, including that of Badosa herself. However, the lack of light at the end of the afternoon session prevented the completion of the entire scheduled schedule.

That setback affected Roberto Carballés from Tenerife when he was beating the Italian Matteo Arnaldi, by (0) 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 and 3-2, after two hours and 42 minutes in its premiere. The lack of light did benefit Nuria Párrizas, whose debut match against the Belarusian Aliaksandra Sasnovich was suspended after 37 minutes for the same reason, when the Granada fell 6-2.

For his part, Roberto Bautista experienced a very bitter debut at Wimbledon after his duel against the Russian Roman Safiullin. After more than four hours of fervent exchange of blows, the man from Castellón was eliminated at the first exchange by 2-6, 7-6(7), (4) 6-7, 6-4 and 7-5.

Sara Sorribes was also fired in the round of 32 finals, due to her 6-2, 6-0 defeat against the Polish Iga Swiatek in one hour and 10 minutes. With hardly any options against one of the great favorites to win the title, the woman from Castellón also gave up two serving turns in each set and was trailing the rest of the time.

Thus, the main joy of the Spanish ‘Armada’ was signed by Paula Badosa, thanks to her victory over the American Alison Riske-Amritraj 6-3, 6-3. In just over an hour of the game, the Catalan resolved her return to the slopes after almost two months without official activity due to injury.

Throughout a day paralyzed twice, due to protests by protesters from the ‘Just Stop Oil’ platform on Track 18, the All England Club saw the agonizing victory of the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas against the Austrian Dominic Thiem 3-6, 7-6(1), 6-2, (5)6-7 and 7-6(8) in almost four hours.

The Serbian Novak Djokovic, second seeded in the tournament and the main favorite to win this title, had far fewer problems to advance to the round of 32. He did it by defeating Australian Jordan Thompson 6-3, 7-6 (4) and 7-5, after two and a half hours of mourning.
