Bernabé Zapata, Nuria Parrizas and Cristina Bucsa are the three Spaniards who are still in the preliminary phase of Wimbledon of the ten who started the competition. This Wednesday Carlos Taberner, Irene Burillo and Esther Guerrero fell.
Zapata submitted the Australian Bernard Tomic (6-4 and 6-1), the Australian who was as promising as he was unstable for his good tennis and little head. The Valencian, who did not give his rival a single break ball, will face dangerous British guest Anton Matusevich on Thursday, one of the surprises of the qualy, that he could with another player from the Navy, Taberner, whom he beat by a clear 6-4 and 6-1 with a good serve and 27 winners.
In the female box, Parrizas beat French Jessica Ponchet 7-6 (1), 6-3 in 92 minutes. The Granada-born woman held up very well with her serves and was aggressive (30 winners). Thus he earned a spot in the second round, in which will face the Chinese Xiyu Wang (29th favorite). Bucsa, of Moldovan origin, got rid of a tennis player from that country, Irina Bara, ninth seeded of the previous one, before which she came back to win 5-7, 6-2 and 6-3 with nine breaks in his favor. The 23-year-old tennis player will be seen in the second phase with the 34-year-old Ukrainian Karteryna Bondarenko.
Irene Burillo fell to the Bulgarian Tomova (double 6-2) and Esther Guerrero could not with the French Ocean Dodin (7-6 (5) and 6-3).
