If Georgia’s first seed Ana Tatishvili took successful start at the Australian Open Championship, Sopo Shapatava stayed beyond the tournament soon. Georgian tennis player lost to Japanese Eri Hozumi 6:2, 4:6, 0:6.
In the last match Sopo used 3 break-points of 5 and her opponent 5 of 11. Georgian tennis player served 4 aces and had 5 double mistakes. In total she won 12 balls lesser than her opponent – 66:78.
Recall that before Tatishvili defeated Canadian Aleksandra Wozniak 3:6, 6:2, 6:4 and in the 2nd circle of “Australian Open” qualifying draw she faces Russian Ekaterina Bychkova.
If the Georgian tennis player overcomes this barrier, then in the main draw she will play against the winner among Belgian Ann-Sofia Mestac and Japanese Risa Ozak.
