Sugiyama knocks out No. 2 Kuznetsova at Acura
恭喜小愛
K娃全場犯下69記非受迫性失誤 其中有56記發生在最後兩盤
這次小愛本年度第一次打進巡迴賽最後八強
CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) -- Ai Sugiyama took advantage of numerous unforced errors
and played consistently Thursday to upset second-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova in
the third round of the Acura Classic.
Kuznetsova, ranked fourth in the world, committed 69 unforced errors, including
56 over the final two sets in her first match since losing in the Wimbledon
quarterfinals more than a month ago. Sugiyama won 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
``I think I was playing good tennis at times,'' said U.S. Open champion
Kuznetsova. ``I just didn't keep my level at the top.''
Kuznetsova breezed through the first set before Sugiyama took a close second
set. They were on serve until Sugiyama broke through in the fifth game to take
a 3-2 lead and won her service game at love for a 4-2 advantage. Sugiyama
closed out on her first match point when Kuznetsova hit a backhand into the net.
``I gave her a chance to get into the match in the second (set),'' Kuznetsova
said. ``And in the third, it was much more difficult to beat her. I wasn't
concentrating enough.''
Sugiyama acknowledged that Kuznetsova wasn't at the top of her game.
``I've seen her play better than today,'' Sugiyama said. ``She was thinking
smart at the beginning. But maybe the concentration wasn't great today, up and
down. I tried to just play every point and focus.''
Japan's Akiko Morigami moved into the quarterfinals with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4
victory over qualifier Sania Mirza of India. Mirza upset Petrova on Wednesday.
