Ukrainian tennis players with varying degrees of success on the tournament of series ATP and WTA.
Lesya Tsurenko at a major tournament in Cincinnati was interrupted by a two month series without a victory – the third racket of Ukraine in the opening match of the competition of WTA Premier 5 confidently passed Chinese Zhang Shuai, a sensational party to the quarterfinals at the last Australian Open.
Tsurenko two parties organized four breaks and only once lost his serve, and Shuai realized his only break point of the match.
Now, Tsurenko will play the 12th racket of the world Timea Bacsinszky, who on the Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro paired with the legendary Martina Hingis won the silver medal.
Zhang Shuai (China) — Lesia Tsurenko (Ukraine) — 3:6, 3:6
For Alexandr Dolgopolov masters in Cincinnati had a double meaning, because in the past year, the Ukrainian sensationally reached the semi-finals and was one goal from the match-balls in the match against Novak Djokovic.
Alas, the defense of last year’s semi-finals to Dolgopolov ended in the first round. Ukrainian in a match against Kevin Anderson with the score 5:6 could not submit to the tie-break and refused to continue the fight. Over the next week, Dolgopolov will drop out of the top 50 ATP ranking.
