MADRID, 19 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa qualified for the third round of the Australian Open, the first ‘Grand Slam’ of the season, after winning with great authority this Thursday the Italian Martina Trevisan 6-0, 6-3, while Nuria Parrizas also advanced without playing and Sara Sorribes was eliminated.
The Catalan, seeded eighth, will play a third game for the first time in her career at Melbourne Park after adding her seventh consecutive victory, showing that she is in good shape against a rival who came from the previous one and who did not have too many options.
The champion in Sydney was very firm at the Rod Laver Arena with her serve, with which she hit five ‘aces’ and not only did she not lose in the entire match but also did not give up a single break ball to Trevisan, who only he was able to win eight points from the rest and that he conceded up to 13 break balls to his rival.
Badosa was relentless in the first set and half an hour had already won it with a resounding 6-0. The Spanish was soon able to put the second on track, but she did not take advantage of four break balls and Trevisan managed her first game and gained energy, although for a short time because the number six in the world did not forgive in the fifth game to break and sentence her ticket to the third round with a new ‘break’ after one hour and eleven minutes.
Now, the eighth seed at Melbourne Park will seek the round of 16 against the Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk, who ended the career of the Spanish Sara Sorribes, who she won 7-6(5), 6-3 in a game in which the player from Castellón squandered a 3-0 lead and serve, and her service with 5-4 in the first round.
Along with Badosa, Nuria Parrizas, from Granada, will be in the third round, making her debut in this ‘Grand Slam’, which is the second of her career after the last US Open. The Andalusian did it without playing after the abandonment of the Belgian Maryna Zanevska and now she will face the American Jessica Pegula, twenty-first favorite, for a place among the 16 best.
