Cristina Bucsa retires in the first round of Courmayeur

Spanish tennis player Cristina Bucsa withdrew from her match in the first round of the Courmayeur Tournament (Italy) against Chinese Wang Xing. The Spaniard, number 157 in the world, could not finish a match dominated from the beginning by her rival Xing, number 110 in the WTA ranking.

Xing, therefore, qualifies to contest the round of 16He, where he expects a rival, who will come out of the confrontation between the Italian Jessica Pieri and the Chinese Shuai Zhang.
