Elina Svitolina, after the seed No. 22, gave one of the best performances of the year, Benjik 6-2, reached the third round of Miami.
After Ukraine and Switzerland set up a second round meeting in Miami, it was expected to be one of the best matches of two rounds. However, the Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2023 was a one-sided business and all was a tough battle because he completely dominated his first matches since 2019.
During the match, Svitolina sent a perfect stat line in the break points from 5 to 5. In addition, all three pause points of Bencia saved the chances.
Outside the game, the former world applied the number 3 game and started with back-back intervals and took 4-0 lead before collecting the third break of the seventh game.
In the second set, Svitolina claimed to complete the fourth and eighth game. It should be noted that Bengik in the third game of the second set and the seventh game, but did not accept.
Ukraine, who won the WTA final meeting in 2019, now there are 3-2 heads against Switzerland.
Switolina Carolina Muchova plays after that
In the third round, Victoria Azarenka Bagoria Azarenka Bagoria Azarenka will receive the 15th seed Muchova in the first set of retirement in Belarus.
Interestingly, Svitolina is re-appointed to play against the opponent who has not been encountered since 2019. Six years ago, Ukraine beat Czech in Dubai and won the 2019 Wimbledon meeting in plain kits.
But much has changed since the last meeting. Seeds No. 22 will not be demolished and definitely unsightly, Muchova is a better player compared to what they met, and it seems like a match that looks like a show.
