"The tiebreak in the deciding set of the match between Ana Bogdan and Lesia Tsurenko is the sole leader in a list of the longest tiebreaks in women's matches. The previous record was 36 points, which was scored in the first set of a match between Denisa Allertova and Johanna Konta at Roland Garros 2015. Ana Bogdan's match with Lesia Tsurenko is in first place in the general top as well, but tied with a game from the men's circuit. It is about the confrontation between Andy Roddick and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, from the 2007 Australian Open, which had a tiebreak of 38 points in the first set," Romanian publication Digi Sport notes.
Tsurenko's next opponentLesia Tsurenko's next opponent at Wimbledon is the 4th-seeded Jessica Pegula. A match against Pegula is tough but with the over 3 hours spent on the court in her last match, Tsurenko has even fewer chances of prevailing.
Yet, following her run, Tsurenko is still set to earn a lot of money, which, per her words, will be donated to help Ukraine.
"When the conflict broke out, I thought of leaving tennis and going to my country as a volunteer to help with all this they needed. However, Dolgopolov called me and explained that I had to continue playing and that this was the best way to help Ukraine. I've never played for money and I don't I will now, so I will donate almost everything I earn from tournaments," Tsurenko said at the start of June.
The good news for Tsurenko is that her elbow discomfort hasn't caused her problems at Wimbledon so far. "
"Lately it hurts less. It's incredible because at the end of last year they told me that the inflammation had reached the bone and that I had to think about retiring. Tennis is my great passion, so I took some time off and worked on rebalancing my whole body. This season it hurts a lot at night but during the day I'm fine and this allows me to train and compete," she specified, providing updates on her current physical condition," Lesia said in June.
