One more lap thanks to the performance boost

IMAGO / Rabbit Head
Mark-Andrea Haussler (ATP 47) moves into the second round in Miami. For a long time it looked as if the 26-year-old was going to fail early on. But the Swiss took the last chance in the second set to smash Albert Ramos-Viñolas (ATP 51). In contrast to the first round, the Swiss had more success in the next tie-break and saved himself in the deciding set.
In this he gave the Spaniard no chance and took three service matches from the 35-year-old. After 2 hours 36 minutes, Hüsler took 6:7 (4:7), 7:6 (7:2), 6:3 to win his first match point. The Zurich native won an ATP Tour match for the first time since the beginning of February. Recently, Hüsler has failed four times in a row in the first round. The next opponent of the Swiss is Tommy Paul (USA / ATP 19).
Redemption for Golubic
Viktorija Golubic (WTA 116) also experienced a sense of accomplishment that has become a rarity in recent times. The 30-year-old from Zurich celebrated his 7: 6 (7: 3), 6: 1 victory over American Hayley Baptiste (WTA 280) in the first round in Florida.
In the first set, the Swiss team had to go into a tiebreaker despite leading 4-0. She conceded a break in the second round before conceding nine points to her opponent and scoring her first match point after 96 minutes.
The next opponent is No. 12 Ludmilla Samsonowa (WTA 15). Golubic decided the only duel with the 24-year-old Russian in June 2019 in Nottingham on the grass in three sets in her favour.
Tishman has no chance
Jill Tishman’s performance in Miami lasted just under an hour. The world number 32 had to concede defeat in the first round Karolina Mochova (WTA 55) 0: 6 and 2: 6. The Czech, who suffered a lot from injuries in the recent past, dominated the Swiss in all respects.
Tishman had to accept a total of five service breakthroughs. Muchova, who had to go through the playoffs, ended the match with his first match point.
