Saville loses the opening match at Wimbledon; Fans guts over the disappointment. Daria Saville, the Australian wildcard was dashed out in the very first round at Wimbledon. Her hopes of having a strong run at Wimbledon come to a disappointing end for fans.
Saville failed in making the incredible run at the game. Compared to the recent game’s performance, the Aussie wildcard can’t match up to the expectations. In the opening round with Bulgaria’s Viktoriya Tomova, Saville was seen being succumbed to cramps. Despite battling bravely, the first round ended with losing figures 7-5 3-6 7-5 for Saville.
Saville Was Having A Class Form This Year
Post the spectacular resurgence from the Aussie wildcard this year, every fan was hoping for better from her at Wimbledon. Saville managed to be in the top 100 this year besides having the foot and Achilles injuries too. Earlier, she was even dropped from the world’s top 600 players.
Ons Jabeur and Elise Mertens are in the top 50 scalps. They lie below Saville and were beaten by the Aussie as well. Along with that, two times Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova lost the second round of the French Open to Saville.
Aussie Wildcard Endure Tough Time At Wimbledon
The Aussie denied giving up after jarring the right knee and trailing by 5-2. The sixth game of the deciding set was predicting her loss. However, Saville managed to make a comeback to 5-5 and later was struggling again. Tomova was giving her a tough day at the match. After the first set, Saville again dropped and Tomova emerged victorious.
Lost Saville mentioned after the game about the reason. She had been facing stress-related cramping during the game. This loss is too big for Aussie women along with qualifiers Maddison Inglis, Astra Sharma, Zoe Hives, and Jaimee Foulis. All four lost their first-round matches contributing to overall big losses for Australians.
