Sarah Sorribesfourth favorite, the French successfully won Clara Burellfinalist last year, to be put on quarterfinals of the tournament in Lausanne.
The player from Castellón, 43 in the WTA rankings, is now aiming to reach the first semifinals of the season. The quarters he achieved by beating 6-4 and 6-2 at Burel in an hour and a half is its fifth 2022. An insurmountable hurdle for Sorribes on this course.
Sara Sorribes will face the winner in the match between Frenchman Leolia Jean Jean, who advanced to the second round due to the absence of German Tatjana Maria, and Caroline Garcia.
Outside the tournament, however, it was Spaniard Cristina Bucsa who didn’t complete the comeback against American Simona Waltert who scored 6-1, 5-7 and 6-4 wins.
The 24-year-old was overtaken by a lower-ranked rival without a title on the women’s tour who pulled into the fight after two hours and six minutes. The North American will face in the quarterfinals against the winner of the match between Serbian Olga Danilovic and Russian Ann Kalinskaya.
Also eliminated was the third favorite, Romanian Irian Camelia Begu, with no choice against Russian Anastasia Potapova, whose next opponent will be the winner of the duel between Germans Jule Niemeier and Eva Lys.
The day ended with Croatian Petra Martic’s victory over Russian Erika Andreeva (6-4 and 6-2) awaiting the winner of the duel between Swiss Susan Bancechhi and Belinda Bencic, second seeded. EFE
