Anca Todoni loses the duel with Moyuka Uchijima, after having 2 match balls

Until 4-1 for her, in set 2, Anca Todoni gave the feeling that she fully mastered the battle on the ground. He broke the balance with the break in Ghem 6 and made the entire ARIAKE Coliseum arena tremble with the right -handed blows.

When the Japanese spectators saw that Anca came with the forehand knew that Uchijima was lost. That’s how it went for a while. Q

Our player served strongly to one side and then sent to the other without giving the opponent to fold or cover the ground. He also executed some good volleyballs on the net, led and imposed the rhythm of this match.

With 6-3 and 4-1, I was already thinking that we would finally have the first victory in Tokyo. But without explanation, Anca lost the compass, sent many unforced balls in the auto and woke up. The hope brought us back by turning the break and leading 5-4.

How many times he did not show self -control. He canceled the Japanese break balls with the aces or through a strong and unrestricted service. At 6-3, 5-4, 40-30 he had the match ball. He escaped her between his fingers. He had an advantage again and again the match ball. He hasn’t succeeded now. Equality, 5-5. He entered Tiebreak and Moyuka Uchijima took the set, unexpected! Who would have thought?

What a sad day.

In the third, Anca could no longer resist the local tennis attacks supported by the public and gave in in 38 minutes, even if at 2-4 it was about to make us imagine that it restores the situation on the table.

Final score:

Anca Todoni – Moyuka Uchijima (2 hours and 30 minutes)

6-3, 6-7 (3), 2-6.

Romania-Japan 0-2.
