Jill Teichmann

The 27-year-old Swiss representative started the tournament in Slovenia the day before yesterday. In the 1/16 finals, Teichmann won a difficult victory over his compatriot Susan Bandecchi in three sets – 6:4; 2:6; 7:6 (7:4). In the first set, both tennis players initially worked competently on their serves, and from the score 3:3 on games, Jill and Susan exchanged breaks. Immediately after that, Teichmann made a second consecutive break and reached the score 5-4 in games, and then Jill confidently served for the set. In the second set, already with the score 1:2 in games, Jill lost a game on her serve and settled for a score of 1:4. Then, with the score 2:5 in games, Teichmann lost a game on her serve for the second time, and thus she lost the game by a large difference. In the decisive set, already with the score 1:1 in games, Teichmann made an important break for herself, which allowed her to reach the score of 3:1. In the middle of the set, with the score 4:2 in games, Jill made the second break, but then she suddenly lost control of the game and lost the game twice in a row on her serve, which eventually allowed Bandecki to win back. The set eventually turned out to be protracted, and then it came to a tie-break. In the tiebreak, Teichmann played almost without mistakes, which eventually allowed her to close the match in her favor. The tennis players spent two hours and forty minutes on the court.
