Melinda Czink bounces over Coco Vandeweghe to reach main draw – Family Circle Cup 2012
Qualifying eighth seed, Melinda Czink, hit back to outclass the local starlet, Coco Vandeweghe, in three sets at the Family Circle Cup 2012 on Sunday. She formulated a 3-6, 6-4, 6-0 victory against the 20-year-old to enter the main draw at this clay court
tournament held in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Hungarian rising veteran, Czink, made an epic comeback from a set down to tumble over Vandeweghe in their first meeting. After earning the glory in two hours and one minute, she not confidently advanced into the first round of this $1 million WTA (Women’s
Tennis Association) event.
Ranked 165th in the WTA Premier Rankings, Vandeweghe, thundered into the Family Circle Tennis Center and leaped to a 2-0 lead after drawing the first blood in the opening game. She then continued hammering angled shots to swipe in remaining serves,
eventually sealing the opener with a 6-3 win.
Czink refocused in the following set and after earning an early break of serve, she went 3-1 up. Regardless of losing her serve in the sixth game, the Hungarian capitalised on another break opportunity in the very next game and pulled out the equaliser with
a 6-4 success.
The world number 109 went berserk in the final set and hammered massive forehands to reel off all six games in a row. She converted three of her break chances to her advantage, ultimately registering an exceptional 6-0 score line.
The high-spirited Hungarian will face Australian tennis star, Anastasia Rodionova, in the first round.
Jill Craybas of America will go along with the Hungarian in the opening round. Seeded 13th in the qualifying competition at this WTA Premier event, Craybas was never broken down in the match and dominated throughout the match to earn the limelight
against her compatriot, Madison Brengle. She broke her fellow citizen’s serve four times to manipulate a 6-3, 6-1 victory in 80 minutes. Craybas produced a lower first serve share of 64 per cent as opposed to Brengle’s 78 per cent but amazingly clinched 26
out of 35 points on it. The winning American sought seven break chances and finished the match with 60 points.
