At Federation Square in the Central Business District, the scrum in the morning was great. It was raining, and so the people squeezed into the trams to dry to get to Melbourne Park. Before the inlet barrier was again patience needed, it was Saturday, the weekend because the rush is always the greatest. How at your fingertips finally tore the start of the sixth tournament day at the sky. Also on show court No. 2 behind the Margaret Court Arena flashed the sun glaring through. Laura Siegemund had therefore decided to wear a cap. It should not do any good.
The 27-year-old from Metzingen had inspired in the second round with its refreshing nature, insolent attacks and a win against former world rankings-First Jelena Jankovic. But on this particular afternoon was her way at the Australian Open come to an end. My consolation is, after all, that her good friend Annika Beck is in the second round at the first Grand Slam tournament of the year; There she meets Angelique Kerber, who defeated the American Madison Brengle, with 6: 1, 6:. 3 A German is therefore safe in the quarterfinals. The duel with Siegemund won the Bonnerin 6: 0, 6: 4
corruption in tennis $ 7,000 in the dark sedan
A former German professional tennis player tells us why many players accept bribes.
The considerable success stories German players from the second row are continued so. First surprised Siegemund, which was considered a great talent as a child and later had almost ended her career. Then the 21-year-old Anna-Lena Friedsam came before the last sixteen. Now you follow Beck who incidentally contributing to a new record: Three German women in the second round at the Australian Open, there were no more since 1988; at that time there were as many as four (Stefanie Graf, Claudia Kohde-Kilsch, Sylvia Hanika, Claudia Porwik)
Beck moves for three years in a ranked region that rarely attracts public attention on himself.: in the second half of the Top 100. 55. She is currently in the world rankings, 41. She was, after all, ever, in October 2014. At that time flowed her two victories in the smaller WTA tournaments in Luxembourg (2014) and Quebec (2015) in which a score that takes into account the results of the last twelve months. Beck often lacked, however, the constancy. They tended too often to passively to act, to move too far behind the baseline to leave the opponents the game. Her lack of a brute profit impact. About a forehand shot.
When she had to cope with 13 Erstrundenniederlagen and fell into a spiral of quarreling in the spring of 2015, she separated “heavy heart”, as she admitted, coach Robert Orlik, after six years Cooperation. The Dutchman Mark Derksen, 33, a former professional, took over. Sometimes it is so that coaching change change little. With her he changed much. For Beck was a better player. Above all. Another
Beck has changed its position on the court. She is closer to the baseline. They tried to exert pressure with their solid topspin strokes. Left and right, left and right, they can draw their game by relatively long without many mistakes. They also changed: before their mentality and after the competition. “Of course, it comes, if one wants to improve, let’s see the bigger picture and try new things that are unusual at the beginning of yet,” she explained. “Ultimately, the aim is also to develop themselves as a person.” That the often overlooked Beck is a person with depth, they made it clear when she spoke by themselves about something that other professionals usually a difficult issue is:. Their own critical faculties
Beck is a complete player, since she has a new coach
“Many women have problems when they get criticism,” she said and smiled, but only briefly. It was serious. “Ultimately, every tennis player has indeed their own stubborn and know better,” she said. She wanted to break out of this pattern of behavior. In order to evolve. “I think I’ve done in this area a huge step,” Beck was because she learned “to be open to criticism.” Derksen quiet, analytical kind she appreciates very much, he conveys his thoughts as, “I like to accept that.”
The Positive the new Beck was visible in her third round match. While Siegemund initially seemed nervous, whatever Beck noticed she reeled “with tunnel vision” down their left-right combinations. “Until 6: 0, 3: 0, it was a perfect match,” she judged correctly. Then Siegemund took a toilet break, what is allowed, broke Becks rhythm, dare more and resembled to 4: 4 from. Beck countered. And he made later only blame yourself. “It was my fault,” she said. You have Siegemund left the game, which had actually been acting as chained.
High School with 17, her father is a professor in Chemistry
Against players with more opportunities are Becks limits obviously, it is more likely that they will never win a Grand Slam tournament. But that made her a competitive athlete has been that has so far raised $ 1.3 million in prize money and many more years in front of him, is respectable – they would also be able to go very different ways. At school she skipped a class and created with 17 a high school, grade point average of 1.4. Her father is a professor in chemistry. As a child, Beck was interested in many things and talented, swam well, danced ballet, played the violin, which she still does to relax today. Yet she chose for playing tennis, she had started with five. When she saw their greatest success to date in their 2012 won junior title at the French Open. “The second round here is my biggest success,” she said now
Now she hopes that the next wish comes true -. And “we play in one of the stadiums”. That should come as against the world rankings-Seventh Kerber. In any case: Beck has arrived at the Australian Open on the main stage – eighth finalist in a Grand Slam, she was never
