WIMBLEDON: Bubka Falls at First Hurdle

/noticias.info/ In the first round of the Boys' Singles, Dusan Lojda of the Czech Republic has vaulted past Sergei Bubka in straight sets 6-4, 6-4.

Ukrainian Bubka is the the eponymous son of the Olympic pole-vaulting champion who was the first man to break the 6 metre barrier. In the 1980s Bubka senior collected a haul of 35 pole vault records, six world titles and an Olympic gold. Bubka junior tried pole vaulting but found greater talent for tennis and in this competition is the 7th seed.

Both tall teenagers are big servers and play with two-handed backhands. Of the pair Bubka, has performed better this year, reaching the semi-finals at the Australian Open Juniors' and the quarter-finals at Roland Garros. Left handed Lojda, ranked 22, was put out in the round of 16 at the Australian Open.

Wild card entrant Lojda struggled more with his serve in the early games, yet managed to make it count to avoid losing his serve. He found his rhythm in his third service game and more as he broke the next Bubka serve and held his own to take the first set.

After an early break in the second set by beach-blonde Lojda, Bubka failed to offer enough resistance, although he did claim back a second broken service game. But Lojda was able to take advantage on his own service game to win the match with some ease. notas_de_prensa_archivo
