Muguruza also does not exceed its premiere in Adelaide 2

MADRID, 9 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish-Venezuelan tennis player Garbiñe Muguruza continues her bad streak of results after saying goodbye this Monday in the first round of the Adelaida 2 tournament, an appointment in which Alejandro Davidovich did surpass his debut.

The double champion of 'Grand Slam' fails to find the key to return to being with the best and after losing in her debut in the first tournament in Adelaide against the Canadian Bianca Andreescu in a match that she had won, on this occasion she did not have too many options against the Swiss Belinda Bencic, who prevailed in two sets 6-3, 6-4.

Muguruza, who has fallen to 58th place in the WTA world ranking and who was playing the tournament with an invitation, could not beat her rival, eighth seed and who was very firm with the serve, with which she did not concede even a single breaking ball and with which he only lost seven points.

The Spanish-Venezuelan lost her serve very soon in the first set and was no longer able to recover that disadvantage to cede it 6-3. In the second she improved, but she continued without disturbing the rest and ended up paying dearly for a break in the ninth game with 4-4 on the scoreboard.

On the other hand, in the ATP circuit tournament, Alejandro Davidovich from Malaga, seventh seed, had better luck and got rid of the American Brandon Nakashima in two sets 6-2, 7-6(3) to open his box of victories in 2023.

The Spanish tennis player clearly dominated the first set, but his rival reacted in the second and balanced things out on the court. The services prevailed, with only one 'break' ball that the Andalusian saved, and the 'tie-break' decided in favor of a Davidovich who will now face the winner of the Albert Ramos-John Millman.
