AO R1: (32) Tsvetana Pironkova (BUL) def. Pauline Parmentier (FRA) 6-4 3-6 6-3

Tsveti really fought well. She was on the verb of losing this match after trailing 3-2 in the third but managed to turn it around and win the last 4 games in the match. :bounce:

Ajde Tsevtziiiiiiiiiii :)

Well done, Tsveti! :bounce:
Make use of the good draw!

I'm really impressed by Pironkova serve improvement during Wimbledon (finished TOP5 by number of aces and fastest serve) but I see today she hit just 2 aces during 3-set match, which is not good sign for sure.

Wish her best (4th round at least).

Tsveti :yeah:

Deffinetely the serve was the key for her Wimbledon success. But since then the serve is not the same. Her first serve percentage is very low, she usually keeps it a bit higher for a set but that's it. She really had luck winning the match today.

Congrats to Tsveti, but Pauline, you have to start winning matches like this if you're going to progress to be something. Disappointing.

Tsveti :yeah: :D First win of the season!!

Congratz, Fluke! :cheer:

Tsvetana :worship::worship:

Congrats, Tsveti!Not really good stats from the match, but let's hope stats will improve with the harder opponent.

Good luck next round vs Niculescu! :cheer:

Good job 32nd seed. Keep it up

Pauline :hug:
