This Saturday’s confrontation in the semifinals in between Rebeka Masarova and Leyre Romero ensuring the presence of a Spanish tennis player in the ITF W100 Villa de Madrid tournament, at the Country Club.
Catalan Rebeka Masarova (5) defeated Hungarian Anna Bondar (4) 7-6 (4) and 6-4. It wasn’t until the eleventh game of the first set that the Magyars seemed to impose their game; However, Masarova had a good twelfth game and forced the tiebreak. The Spaniard hurt the upper part of his right leg when he missed a backhand that made it 3-2, and Bondar went on to change ends with 4-2; but Rebeka sought physio – who had to be treated in the locker room – and returned to the court to score 5 points in a row and win 7-6 (4). He won the second set 6-4.
The Valencian Leyre Romero omitted Galician Jessica Bouzas, who served as the early favorite and won the first set 6-2. Leyre, who asked for physio assistance at the beginning of the new set, soon corrected this set until he held several set points, until he finished it and closed 6-4. Then it was Jessica who needed medical attention (abductor) and, unfortunately, she never rejoined the game and retired.
Another rivalry will be played by the Japanese Moyuka Uchijimawho defeated the Romanian Anca Alexia6-2, 1-6, 6-2, and the Andorran Victoria Jimenez, who defeated Russian Oksana Selekhmeteva 3-6, 7-6 (4) and 7-6 (4).
