Slovak tennis player becomes Wimbledon Champion
Renáta Jamrichová ended her junior career as Slovakia's most decorated tennis player.
After an excellent performance, Slovak tennis player Renáta Jamrichová became a Wimbledon champion after she defeated Australia's Emerson Jones on Sunday afternoon, reports Sportnet.
Jamrichová won with a smooth result of 6:3 and 6:4. The Slovak tennis player went through the whole tournament without losing a single set and took home the Grand Slam title.
For Jamrichová and Jones, it was their second junior Grand Slam final that they played against each other this season. The first one took place at the beginning of the year when they met in the final of the Australian Open. Jamrichová also won the first grand slam of the calendar year with a result 6:4 and 6:1.
Jamrichová laid a solid foundation for Sunday's victory on a near-perfect performance in the first set. She had a 100 percent success rate on her second serve and a 90 percent success rate on her second serve.
In the second set, although her opponent could take her serve early on, Jamrichova quickly reacted and didn't let Jones to gain a three-game advantage. With her aggressive style she also impressed the Eurosport commentators who admired her game.
"I'm just so happy and grateful right now that I can have this memory of playing my last junior tournament here in such a beautiful atmosphere in this amazing court and against Emerson. It was one of the greatest junior matches I’ve ever played. I think I’m getting better as a person off court and on court every day and that’s what’s important I think," said the Slovakian, as quoted by the official Wimbledon website.
As Jamrichova mentioned in her post-match interview, the Wimbledon final would be the finishing touch to her successful junior career, during which she
won four Grand Slam titles. Two of them are in singles, and two in doubles.
She has become the most successful junior tennis player since the
independence of the Slovak Republic.
The world junior number one is in the sixth-hundred of the senior ranking
and awaits her transition to senior tennis. She plans to make this big jump at the tournaments where she will receive a wild card.
