Lucia wins the first set but in the end gives 4-6, 6-1, 6-2: for the Russian it is the third career title in singular
Anastasia Potapova conquers his third career title in singular and confirms himself to be the black beast of Lucia Bronzetti, beaten for the fifth time by the 23-year-old Russian in the final of the Transylviania Open, in Cluj-Napoca, in Romania. Too bad for the blue, who had started very well and had carried out a set, but then the greater power of the potapova, which rises to number 31 in the world after this success, made the difference. The Russian was more precise in the key moments of the match, dominating the second and third partial after a very fighting first. In the end the score was 4-6 6-1 6-2 in favor of Potapova, with the balance of the game that lasted only one set.
the game
–
Bronzetti, born in 1998, had started very well, solid in the service and with a cross -country rhythm that put Potapova several times in difficulty in the first part. A set conquered thanks to the break obtained in the ninth game, which broke the balance and carried out the Rimini in the score. Unfortunately only an illusion. The Russian in the second immediately raised the level of her game, with precise and powerful blows and with bronzetti unable to react: the two breaks torn from Potapova a logical consequence of what was seen on the pitch. In the third, Bronzetti tried to react by increasing the percentages to the service but all useless, against the hellish rhythm imposed by the opponent. The fourth WTA final for Lucia ends with a defeat, but this result leads her to be number 56 in the world and the awareness that the beauty, perhaps, has yet to come.
