MADRID, Jan 9 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish-Venezuelan tennis player Garbiñe Muguruza continues her bad series of results after saying goodbye this Monday to the first round of the Adelaida 2 tournament, an appointment in which Alejandro Davidovich surpassed his debut.

The two-time ‘Grand Slam’ champion is failing to find the key to returning with the best and after losing on her debut in the first tournament in Adelaide to Canadian Bianca Andreescu in a match she won, at this occasion she did not have too many options against the Swiss Belinda Bencic, who won in two sets 6-3, 6-4.

Muguruza, who fell to 58th in the WTA World Rankings and was playing the tournament with an invitation, could not beat her eighth-seeded rival who was very firm on serve, with which she did not have not conceded even a single break. ball and with which he only lost seven points.

The Spaniard-Venezuelan lost her serve very early in the first set and was no longer able to recover this disadvantage to give it up 6-3. In the second he improved, but continued without disturbing the rest and ended up paying dearly for a break in the ninth game with 4-4 on the scoreboard.

In contrast, in the ATP Tour tournament, seventh-seeded Alejandro Davidovich of Malaga had better luck and got rid of American Brandon Nakashima in straight sets 6-2, 7-6(3) to open its victory box in 2024.

The Spanish tennis player clearly dominated the first set, but his rival reacted in the second and balanced things on the court. The services prevailed, with a single ‘break’ ball that the Andalusian saved, and the ‘tie-break’ decided in favor of a Davidovich who will now face the winner of the Albert Ramos-John Millman.
