How much money did Jaqueline Cristian earn for qualifying for the 2nd round at the Australian Open. He can already get his Porsche like David Popovici

Jaqueline Cristian (82 WTA) gave the blow, including from a financial point of view, with the access to the second round of the Australian Open. He secured a check worth 126,000 euros.

The amount is enough to buy a luxury Porsche car. If he intends, obviously, to follow the example of the Olympic champion David Popovici, put to the wall by Cristian Tudor Popescu precisely because of this.

The subject, moreover, caused a wave of reactions in the public space, most of them being attacks on the journalist. We only remember Ilie Năstase, Gigi Becali, Mihai Stoica and Marcel Pușcaș.

Jaqueline Cristian, financial “gun” after qualifying in the 2nd round at the Australian Open

Jaqueline Cristian had a real roller coaster in the inaugural round of the Australian Open, against the Croatian Petra Martic (131 WTA). He won his first set after 42 minutes, but in the second the emotions came out.

Although she was led, the opponent chained four games and sent the game to the decider, where she was in advantage. In fact, she was in a position to serve for the qualification in the second round, but the Romanian awarded her break to 0, after which she prevailed in the super tiebreak, establishing final score, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (7)after two hours and 36 minutes.

In addition to the financial reward, this success earned her 70 points in the WTA ranking. In the next stage of the competition, she will face the Italian Lucia Bronzetti (76th WTA), who beat the Belarusian Victoria Azarenka (favorite no. 21) in a minimum of sets, score 6-2, 7-6 (2).

Sorana Cîrstea was defeated by Elina Svitolina

Unlike Jaqueline Cristian, Sorana Cîrstea (72 WTA) had to be satisfied only with the presence in the first round. That’s because she lost without appeal to Elina Svitolina (29 WTA), score 4-6, 4-6.

“Physically I felt good today but from a game point of view I’m a bit disappointed with my performance. I felt like I was playing a lot better in practice and I expected to have a much higher level.

However, it has been seen that I have a lack of matches and it will probably take a while before I have the same rhythm in training and in matches. I think I could have returned a lot better, the return games went a little bit fast. Then I could be a little more aggressive, get the ball much faster.

Again, I’m disappointed with how I played, considering that in the last two months, or at least the last month, I’ve been training pretty well and I felt the level was there. But, as we know, training is not the same as the match”, declared “Sori” after the match, for Eurosport.
