MADRID, 23 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa has said goodbye in the round of 16 of the Australian Open, the first ‘Grand Slam’ of the season, after losing to the American Madison Keys (6-3, 6-1), so the women’s draw of the oceanic contest is left without Spanish representatives.
The Catalan, number six in the world, succumbed to the thrust of the North American, who scored 26 winners, compared to 10 by the Spanish. Keys used one of the seven break chances he had in the first set to finish off the set in the second game.
Already in the second set, she responded with a ‘counterbreak’ to the initial break of the American; Keys did the rest to win the next five games in a row and end the clash after one hour and nine minutes of play.
In this way, the women’s team of the ‘great’ ocean is left without Spanish, after Garbiñe Muguruza also said goodbye against the odds against the French Alize Cornet (6-3, 6-3).
