The 26-year-old Siniaková flew to Slovenia shortly after Sunday’s triumph at the US Open, where she and her partner Barbora Krejčíková completed the doubles career Grand Slam. “I still feel jet lag, but when I’m doing something, it’s much better. Thanks to the matches, I have to be ready,” said the 82nd-ranked player Siniaková in an interview on the court.
The match with Burrage, the 151st tennis player in the world, broke at the end of the first set. The 23-year-old British woman led 5:3, but Siniaková did not give up and turned the set with four consecutive games won. Subsequently, the Czech Republic also controlled the first four games of the second set and gained a decisive lead.
“I am very happy that I advanced. It was difficult, especially in these conditions. It was very windy, so it was difficult to concentrate only on the game itself,” said Siniaková. In the fight for the semi-finals, she will face the winner of the duel between the Italian Jasmine Paolini and the home Slovenian Kaja Juvanova.
