“The tiebreak in the deciding set of the match between Ana Bogdan and Lesia Tsurenko is the sole leader in the list of longest tiebreaks in women’s matches.
The previous record was 36 points, which was set in the first set of the match between Denisa Allertova and Johanna Konta at Roland Garros 2015. Ana Bogdan’s match with Lesia Tsurenko is also at the top of the overall score, but in a tie. from the men’s track.
It’s about the matchup between Andy Roddick and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga from the 2007 Australian Open, which featured a 38-point tiebreak in the first set,” notes Romanian publication Digi Sport.
Tsurenko’s next opponent
Lesia Tsurenko’s next opponent at Wimbledon is fourth-ranked Jessica Pegula.
The match against Pegula is tough, but with more than three hours on court in his last match, Tsurenko has even less chance to win. However, after his run, Tsurenko has continued to earn a lot of money, which, according to his words, will be donated to help Ukraine.
“When the conflict broke out, I thought about leaving tennis and going to my country as a volunteer to help with whatever they needed. However, Dolgopolov called me and explained that I had to continue playing and that this was the best way to help Ukraine.
I’ve never played for money and I don’t play now, so I donate almost everything I earn from tournaments,” Tsurenko said in early June. The good news for Tsurenko is that her elbow discomfort has not caused her problems at Wimbledon so far.
“”Lately it hurts less. It’s unbelievable because at the end of last year I was told that the inflammation had reached the bone and that I had to think about retirement. Tennis is a big passion of mine, so I took some time off and worked on balancing my whole body.
This season it hurts a lot at night, but during the day I’m fine and this gives me the opportunity to train and compete,” he elaborated, offering an update on his current physical condition,” Lesia said in June.
