The serious things started yesterday morning on the courts of TCISM, on the occasion of the 1st round of the International Women of Saint-Martin. Good news in the French camp, Amandine Cazeaux and Priscilla Heise are still in the running!
Eliminated during the 1st round in 2010, Amandine Cazeaux crossed this milestone of the 1st round by logically disposing of the Indian, Kyra Shroff, on the final score of 6/3, 6/2. "I am satisfied with my performance against an opponent who is always difficult to maneuver," said Amandine. "The most important thing for me was to find the happy medium between the variations of play and a good aggressiveness in the key moments of the game".
Except huge surprise, the young French should be opposed, in the 2nd round, to the Slovak, T. Mihalikova, seeded n ° 4 of the tournament.
Otherwise, the Franco-French duel between Priscilla HEISE and Fiona CODINO, turned to the advantage of the first named. After a slow start and the loss of the first heat (6-4), Priscilla ended up finding the right fuel to win easily during the 2nd and 3rd heat (6/1, 6/1).
For her part, Irina RAMIALISON, winner of the 2016 edition and seeded n ° 2 of the tournament this year, was confronted, yesterday, at the end of the afternoon, with the American, Amy ZHU, from the qualifications.
We will come back to the performance of the French player in our next edition. _AF
