Decidedly, Ylena In-Albon does not find the key to a Grand Slam. For the sixth time in six appearances – at Wimbledon, she went directly to the main draw – she failed in the first round of qualifying for the US Open. Even worse. The player ranked 133rd in the world has still not won a single Grand Slam set.
In New York, Ylena In-Albon lost to young Czech Linda Fruhvirtova, 17, ranked 158th in the world: 3-6 3-6 in 1:22.
Four breaks conceded
In the first set, the Baltschieder player gave up her engagement at 1-2 following conceding seven break points in her first two service games. However, she had her chance when, at 2-4, she led 40-15 on the Czech’s serve. Without managing to exploit this double opportunity to erase his late break. Linda Fruhvirtova concluded this set by winning a shutout following 40 minutes.
Ylena In-Albon started the second set by dropping her serve. However, she came back to 2-2 on her fourth break point in this game. Unfortunately, the Haut-Valais player once once more conceded her serve, just behind. And the match on a shutout while she was serving.
32 unforced errors
In the end, the Baltschieder player lost her commitment four times for 12 break points conceded. She herself had six for a single break made. It was above all her unforced errors – 32 once morest 19 for her opponent – which cost her dearly as she scored 21 winning points for 17 for the Czech player.
