Us Open, Sara Errani struggles but is in the second round: ‘Tough as hell’
Us Open: ahead Errani and Cocciaretto
Sara Errani flies to the second round of the Us Open after a comeback victory over Spain’s Cristina Bucsa, number 77 in the WTA ranking, defeated 3-6 6-0 6-4 after two hours of play. "It's been a very tough match even though it didn't last as long as it could have – admitted the Romagna-born player to the microphones of SuperTennis -. I put my all despite a thousand pains, I tried to stay thereì until the end".
"In the first set I made a few bad freebies, then in the second she made a few mistakes and I started to put more of them in – added the blue -. I tried to push her a little bit more on the forehand even though in the third I went for a couple of games more on her backhand because I saw that she had stiffened up a little bit. The last game è was a lottery, luckily è out came the last of her backhand".
"After the Olympic gold medal it wasn't easy. I had a crazy physical and mental decline. There'è to regain motivation, today I struggled but I am happy with how I handled the match" concluded Errani.
Elisabetta Cocciaretto also reached the second round at Flushing Meadows. The Marche-based tennis player gave up only three games to Ukraine's Kateryna Baindl, number 329 in the world rankings, overcoming her with a final score of 6-3 6-0.
