The two Spanish representatives in the final duels of the round of 16 of the Valencia tournament played on clay, had mixed luck, because while Jessica Bouzas managed to overcome the Danish Clara Tauson in her match, Sara Sorribes succumbed to the Italian veteran Sara Errani in a difficult fight.
In the rivalry of the twenty-somethings, the Galician Bouzas overcame a first set tie break loss to sign up for the next two sets and win the match 6-7(4), 6-1, 6-4 to access the quarterfinals where the German Tamara Korpatsch will be measured.
Sorribes fared worse in his great rivalry with Errani. The Italian broke the first two Spanish serves and easily took the first set 6-1.
The woman from Castellón recovered, after starting by breaking her rival’s serve in the first game of the second set, scoring a highly contested and extensive second game that mentally denied the balance for the local player to tie the match after bringing it back to 6-1.
In the final round, the third seed of the tournament was able to assert his greatest seniority in crucial moments to take the final set 6-4 and reach the quarterfinals, where she will once again face a Spanish tennis player, Marina Bassols.
