Eva Lys has no chance: debut defeat against Badosa in Berlin!
The joy didn't last long: Eva Lys from Hamburg successfully made her debut at the WTA 500 tournament in Berlin in the first round - even though she was eliminated in the end against the favorite Spaniard Paula Badosa. The unfortunate result of the game was quickly recorded at 1:6, 3:6. The match in the Steffi Graf Stadium in Grunewald lasted less than an hour, and the tenth in the world rankings from Spain was in impressive form.
Badosa dominated the game from the start and gave Lys little room to develop. Immediately after the first serve, the young German gave up her serve game to zero and quickly found herself trailing by a set. The first round was decided after just 25 minutes, and her opponent remained relentless in the second set before closing the bag with her second match point. Lys quickly fell behind and was unable to counter Badosa's powerful punches and precise playing style as well RND reported.
Next challenges for Eva Lys
The world number 62 was also the only German player to serve in the main draw of the tournament after being replaced as German number one by Tatjana Maria at the beginning of the week. Despite the disappointment in Berlin, Lys is already looking ahead. Next week she plans to compete at the tournament in Bad Homburg. This should help her optimally prepare for Wimbledon, where she hopes to be represented in the main draw for the first time.
The prestigious tournament in London will take place from June 30th to July 13th, and German tennis fans can be excited to see how Lys will do there.

Surprise among the favorites
Another look at the tournament: crowd favorite Ons Jabeur booked her place in the second round with a solid 7:6 (7:5), 6:1 victory over Caroline Dolehide from the USA. The recent improving form of the 2022 winner in Berlin is drawing attention, although she has fallen from second place to 61st in the world rankings. Jabeur will now face the Italian Jasmine Paolini in the next round.
In addition to Badosa, the favorites for the title in Berlin are Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka, who are also in excellent shape. Lys now has hope that she will have more luck and success in Bad Homburg next week Sky supplemented.
An exciting, albeit challenging time lies ahead for the young player. The upcoming matches could be crucial for her future career. It will be interesting to see how she performs on the pitch in the coming weeks.
