RG XD R1: Liudmila Samsonova/Andrea Vavassori def. Veronika Kudermetova/Rohan Bopanna 6-2, 6-2 Match Stats

📸 Eurosport GB

L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori had one of the most flawless matches as a pair as they returned deeply and more anticipative, while keeping their point construction as concise as possible. Often, they also utilized the open court properly to bring Veronika/R. Bopanna off-balance, especially since the latter's follow-ups were insufficient for them to stay in the match due to the prevalent unforced errors. As a result, the former pair had 9 break points, converting 5 of them despite Veronika/R. Bopanna's 100% break point conversion rate at the end of the second set.

Besides, L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori also had more consistent service games throughout the match. Despite firing just 1 ace than Veronika/R. Bopanna's 2, the former pair won 83% of their first serve points despite only landing 23% of their first serves, optimizing its follow-ups as well other than firing some crucial unreturned serves. However, despite only double-faulted twice, Veronika/R. Bopanna mostly got rushed on their forehand or volley side as they tried to respond to L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori's deep returns, thus causing an erroneous showing in this department throughout this match.

In tomorrow's second round match, L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori will face the seventh seed and the Australian Open champion Su-Wei Hsieh/Jan Zielinski, who then defeated another tennis couple in Katerina Siniakova/Tomas Machac 6-2, 7-6(3). This could be an intriguing clash for both pairs, which could come down to their aggression and execution. One of the Mixed Doubles matches to look forward to for the day as they catch up with the backlog due to the previous rain delays!

the many woes of WTA Berlin 2024

yep, we’ve got yet another cursed tournament

To start us off, the World #1 Iga Świątek has withdrawn entirely, leaving Coco Gauff, who just became #2 a week ago, as the top seed. As a result, Aryna Sabalenka (seeded second) and Elena Rybakina (seeded third) known for their explosive matches, ended up on the same side of the draw. Jessica Pegula, coming back from injury, is seeded fourth.

Right from the start, it doesn’t just rain. It pours, and this tournament doesn’t have a roof. Matches get delayed and rescheduled like crazy throughout the entire tournament - we’ll get to the worst of it as they come.

In the first round, qualifier and known doubles player Katerina Siniakova takes out Navarro 6-4 6-3. Victoria Azarenka beats the ever-erratic seventh seed Maria Sakkari 6-4 6-2 in a remarkably uncompetitive match. Another qualifier, Veronika Kudermetova, beats compatriot Samsonova 3-6 6-4 6-4. Kudermetova is one of those players that randomly shows up every few months and decides she’s gonna play at a top 20 level. Speaking of players who can sometimes play like the best in the world and sometimes forget how to play tennis, Kostyuk loses to one of the worst grass players on tour, Daria Kasatkina, with a scoreline 4-6 7-6 6-3.

All the top four seeds survive the second round, but fifth and sixth aren’t so lucky. Anna Kalinskaya receives her first walkover of the tournament after fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova is injured at 5-5 in the first set. Siniakova continues her run by beating sixth seed Zheng 6-4 6-4. Throughout all this it rains, a lot.

The quarterfinals is where things start to get truly crazy. First Rybakina is forced to retire against Azarenka at only 3-1. Following this, Azarenka and her son play mixed doubles with some fans on the court. Jess and Siniakova are in a tight third set when the rain pushes them to the next day along with the other two quarterfinals. Jess is able to finish it up, winning 7-6 3-6 6-3. In the next quarterfinal, Coco wins a close tiebreak against eight seed Ons Jabeur, but Jabeur retires immediately after due to illness. Finally, Anna receives another walkover, this time from Sabalenka, who retired due to a shoulder injury at 5-1. Three out of four quarterfinals ended in a retirement.

The very same day, Anna beats Azarenka with a bizarre scoreline of 6-1 6-7 6-1 to make the final. Interestingly enough, her boyfriend makes a German 500 final at roughly the same time. The second semifinal is a battle of doubles partners between Coco and Jess. Jess wins the first set, but Coco is serving at 5-3 in the second. In true Coco Gauff fashion, she gets broken and the second set goes to a tiebreak. Jess is up 3-1 in the tiebreak when it starts to rain, meaning the end of the match has to be pushed to the next day, where the winner will face Anna just a few hours later.

The next day, Jess finishes off the tiebreak, winning it 7-2, and then goes to play the final. The first set goes to a tiebreak, which Anna wins in a shocking 7-0. Jess breaks in the second set to win it 6-4. In the third set, Anna is up 4-1 with momentum towards a win, but gets broken. Even still, at 5-4 she has four match points, all of which Jess manages to save. Then, at 5-5 Anna goes down 0-40 and ends up saving four break points to hold. She finds herself with another match point in the next game, but Jess saves it in an insane rally to send it to a tiebreak. Unlike the first set tiebreak, Jess wins this one handily with a scoreline of 7-3.

When they meet at the net, Jess literally says sorry.

L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori continued their dominance to the second set, as after they held their serves to 1-0, A. Vavassori's poaching volley secured them their 2-point lead before having a break point, converting it through A. Vavassori's forehand down-the-line winner to 2-0. Afterward, they consolidated the lead to 3-0, and had not looked back since thanks to their aggression on par with an erroneous showing from Veronika/R. Bopanna.

Five consecutive games later, the latter pair should have served to stay in the set. However, despite Veronika/R. Bopanna's best efforts to prolong the match, a forehand return ace from A. Vavassori outhit Veronika's forehand side to generate the initial match point. Eventually, two points later, a third-shot volley error secured L. Samsonova/A. Vavassori the win, taking the second set 6-2 to secure their spot in the second round.
