It could not be. Nuria Parrizas and Cristina Bucsa could not obtain this Friday the pass to the main draw of Wimbledon when falling in the third round of the previous one before rivals of higher ranking. So Bernabé Zapata is the only one of the 10 Spaniards who competed in the qualifying of the British Grand Slam that will play the tournament.
Parrizas was close to surprising the first favorite, Colombian Maria Camila Osorio, who recovered from a bad first set to come back and win 3-6, 6-3 and 6-2 in just two hours. The 29-year-old and 147th in the world from Granada made 44 unforced errors against a tennis player on the rise, 19 years old and 94th in the ranking.
Bucsa, for her part, had no chance of beating the experienced 32-year-old and 133rd Belarusian Olga Govortsova, who beat easily 6-3 6-2 in 67 minutes. The Spanish of Moldovan origin, 165th, lost her service five times.
