Two Swiss women will play the quarter-finals of the Ladies Open in Lausanne on Friday: the winner of the derby which will oppose Belinda Bencic to Susan Bandecchi and the admirable Simona Waltert (WTA 154).
The day after her incredible victory against world No. 7 Danielle Collins with three match points saved, the Grisone won 6-1 5-7 6-4 ahead of the Spaniard Cristina Bucsa after 2:06 ‘game. will be the Serbian Oga Danilovic (WTA 124) or the Russian Anna Kalinskaya (WTA 73). For a player who now has seven wins in a row and who is full of confidence, the task is not impossible.
Like Tuesday, Simona Waltert went through a meeting rich in twists and turns. After coming within two points of victory on her serve at 5-4 in the second set, she trailed 3-1 in the deciding set. Fortunately, she was able to find the necessary resources to remove five of the last six games of the match. On a physical level, the day of rest that she will enjoy this Thursday will do her the greatest good.
Although she was probably too vulnerable behind her second ball with only 10 points won out of 26, Simona Waltert delivered a convincing performance. The purity of his shot worked wonders against an opponent who came from qualifying. If it is still evolving in this register on Friday, all hopes will be allowed to it.
Tatjana Maria Ski Pass
The qualification of Simona Waltert made forget the disappointment caused by the withdrawal of Tatjana Maria (WTA 98). The semi-finalist of the last Wimbledon gave up playing her first round against the French Léolia Jeanjean (WTA 155). And as no lucky loser was announced on Wednesday morning, Léolia Jeanjean qualified without playing for the round of 16 where her compatriot Caroline Garcia (WTA 48) awaits her.
