Blog of insider soccer tips
Vinus Williams dropped into the first round of the Australian Open. Last year`s finalist lost to Swiss Belinda Bencil with 3:6, 5:7. The 37-year-old did not manage to beat the rival`s excellent game and left the tournament early
Bencic started the season well and is in excellent shape. She won the Hopman Cup with Roger Federer, and today the parents of the most successful tennis player in history supported her from the stands. The next rival of the 20-year-old Swiss will be the winner of the match between Johannes Larson (Sweden) and Lukis Kumkum from Thailand.
Thus, for the first time since 1997, Williams sisters will not participate in the second round of the Australian Open. Vinus recorded the 77th Grand Slam tournament, which is a record in the Open Era. But she played her first official match since October, and this reflected. The American made a 3:4 break in the first set. Benicch, who has 31 wins in his last 35 games, saved four breakthroughs in the next game before he could close the set a little later. The second set started with a breakthrough in the first four games. Then the match from insider soccer predictions was totally equal, but the Swiss was more confident and managed to make a new break for 7:5, which put an end to the match. The US representatives in the women`s scheme started the seven-loss tournament. Among them was last year`s semi-finalist Coco Vandeuge, who was placed under number 10. She lost to Hungary`s Timea Babos with 6:7 (4), 2:6.
