Schwartzman in the top ten
Schwartzman, who will be in the top ten for the first time on Monday, said of his 1: 9 record. “I’m not sure I’m very confident,” he laughed. He didn’t want to get into it too much either, after the five-sentence thriller he had just won against Dominic Thiem. “I am very happy with this crazy game that I won.”
Argentine tennis fans are currently on the moon. In addition to Schwartzman, the previously unknown Nadia Podoroska also reached the women’s semifinals. The world number 131 for 23 years. was born in Rosario, the name comes from the Ukrainian grandparents. She is the first woman to qualify in a semi-final at the French Open. Only Alexandra Stevenson (Wimbledon 1999) and Christine Dory (Australian Open 1978) had done this before. If she defeats the Polish Iga Swiatek in the semifinals, she would be the first classified of the professional era in a grand final.
Sensationsfrau Podoroska
Before Roland Garros 2020, Podoroska never won two matches in a row at Tour level and only managed four victories. She now has three in the rankings and five in the main competition. With this winning streak, Podoroska, who was No. 255 in the WTA at the end of 2019, is sure to make her way into the top 50.
His next opponent, Iga Swiatek from Poland, entered the tournament as number 54. One of the two will be in the final of this French Open, which is particularly crazy for women. Unimaginable before the start of the largest clay court tournament in the world.
