After her splendid match against Xiyu Wang on Monday, a great tournament could have been hoped for the Nice native Diane Parry. However, her New York adventure ends as early as the second round. This Wednesday, she lost 6-0, 6-4 to another Chinese player, Yafan Wang.
Diane Parry lost mainly due to a challenging first set (6-0). Indeed, she was sluggish on her serve, winning only six points on her serve, 14 in total for the set. Lacking rhythm, she scored fewer winners (7 compared to 10) and made more unforced errors (11 compared to 3). In contrast, her opponent was relentless, delivering a resounding 6-0 set.ย
However, the second set showed signs of improvement. Parry stabilized her game up to 3-3. She was more effective on her serve and in executing points. However, she faltered by conceding a crucial break at 3 games all. She then missed five break points while her opponent was serving for the match.ย
The Chinese player wins the match 6-0, 6-4. In the next round, Yafan Wang will face the Belarusian and former world number one, Victoria Azarenka, who defeated the French player Clara Burel (6-1, 6-4)
