London England /
A very brief participation, but that will surely leave him with enormous learning for his very promising career in tennis. This Monday Mexican Fernanda Contreras debuted at Wimbledon, but was eliminated in consecutive sets against the Polish Magda Linette, who took just over an hour to finish the game with our compatriot.
The first set showed the nerves and inexperience of the 24-year-old player, a native of San Luis Potosí, since in just 27 minutes it was overwhelmed 6-1 for the European, although his presentation improved notably for the second set, although it was not enough.
With partial 4-4, Linette broke Contreras’ serve; With that, the Pole served for the match and finished the job, eliminating the Mexican in her first appearance on the sacred grass of the All England Club, which she reached through qualifying by beating the Hungarian Timea Babos.
What no one will take away from Fernanda is that she will be able to talk with her grandfather that they both played at Wimbledon, since Mr. Francisco Contreras did it in the 1958 edition, reaching the Semifinals in mixed doubles together with the tennis player Rosy Reyes.
“When I was a child, at Christmas she would tell us stories about the strawberries and cream, the freshly cut grass, the stadium at Wimbledon, I remember she played the Semi-Finals. She told us that there is no way to describe it. I can finally live this, it’s very exciting”, He talked during an interview they did to him in the official broadcast of the competition.
This 2022 has meant the takeoff of Potosina in the WTA, confirming her best season with this debut at Wimbledon and her previous presence at Roland Garros, where she won a victory and then fell to Daria Kasatkina 6-0 and 6-3 in the second round.
