Tsvetana Pironkova returns to the professional tour after more than three years of absence. Her match was supposed to start at 6:00 p.m. local time, but the rain postponed it. However, an hour later, the court was ready to play.
Bulgaria’s former first racket in the women’s category is included in the main scheme of the US Open thanks to the “protective classification” system and today she is on the court for a first round match against Russia’s Lyudmila Samsonova.
The former №31 opens the program on the field №15 at 18:00 Bulgarian time. Against herself, she will see the world in action №120, which is 21 years old.
The last Wimbledon 2010 semi-finalist played on the “sacred grass” in London in 2017. She then defeated Sarah Erani 6-1 6-4 in the first phase, then retired after losing to a retired tennis player: Carolyn Wozniaky. Pironkova retired because she was pregnant and in March 2018 she gave birth to their son Alexander. She never officially announced the end of her career, and this year she surprised her fans with the good news that she will be competing again on the WTA tour.
If he wins his first game in New York, Tsvetana will face Garbine Mugurusa or Nao Hibino. The Bulgarian’s best achievement at the US Open is reaching the fourth round in 2012, where she was eliminated after a 0-6 4-6 loss to Ana Ivanovic.
