Zapata gets into the final box; Bucsa and Parrizas, one step away

Bernabé Zapata will be in the main draw at Wimbledon. The valencinao, 24 years old and 125 in the world, suffered, but managed to defeat the local Anton Matusevich, who made him leave until the fifth set (6-2, 3-6, 7-6, 6-7 and 6-3) in a meeting that left until 2 hours and 58 minutes. The Spanish cemented his victory with the serve. Only in the second set, where he had three breaks against, was he wrong. In the other four sets, he only gave up one serve. He won 67% of the points with the first and 71% with the second. Also, when things got complicated, he knew how to react. He saved ten break balls (gave four).

Meanwhile, Cristina Bucsa is one step away from playing her first Grand Slam final phase at Wimbledon. The Cantabrian tennis player born in Chisinau (Moldova) surpassed the Ukrainian Kateryna Bondarenko by a double 6-1 in the second round of the qualifying round from Wimbledon and is one match away from sneaking into the tournament's main draw.

Bucsa was very solid at service, with eight direct aces, no double faults and 85% of points won with her first serve against a Bondarenko. that he had no option to break up and that he only won 9 of his 37 points from the rest before falling after 46 minutes of play.

Bucsa will now play the pass to the final phase of Wimbledon against the Belarusian Olga Govortsova, twenty-fourth favorite of the previous one in search of his first main draw of a Grand Slam.

Parrizas will play the pass against the Colombian Osorio

He will also seek his place in the final draw at Wimbledon. Nuria Parrizas, who beat Chinese Xiyu Wang 7-6 (5) and 6-3 after almost two hours of play. Parrizas knew how to suffer against a very aggressive player who was weighed down by her 44 unforced errors.

Now Parrizas will look for the ticket to the final phase of Wimbledon against a tough rival: the Colombian Maria Camila Osorio, first favorite of the previous round, who beat the Hungarian Panna Udvardy in three sets by 6-4, 3-6 and 6- two. Parrizas, like Bucsa, seeks for the first time to enter the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament and only one match separates him from that dream.
