Brescia, Internazionale begins with the qualifiers. Fita Boluda n. 1, in 2022 he won the title

The extraordinary quality of this edition of the women’s internationals in Brescia, supported right from the naming of the tournament by the Carolina Zani Melanoma Foundation (60 thousand dollars in prize money, clay, category W75), is well summarized by the qualifying draw, drawn on Sunday evening and starts on Monday morning. The number 1 of the cadet seeding is in fact the 24-year-old Angela Fita Boluda, the Spanish tennis player who in 2022 raised the trophy on the Tennis Forza e Costanza courts, in the shadow of the castle. From number 384 in the WTA ranking (with a best ranking of 253), the Iberian player will therefore have to earn a place in the main draw, starting from the challenge against the Hungarian Nagy. There are two matches to win and 19 Italians at the start of the qualifiers, with many of them having legitimate ambitions of reaching the main draw. The most prominent are Martina Colmegna, Sofia Rocchetti, Federica Di Sarra and Nicole Fossa Huergo.

There are five Italian derbies scheduled in the first round: Dessolis-Spigarelli, Colmegna-Mair, Rocchetti-Cavelli, Di Sarra-El Badaoui and Fossa Huergo-Odorizzi. We start at 9.30 on Monday on three courts, with six matches on court 2 and five on both court 3 and 4. A marathon that will begin to tell the first stories of a tournament now in its 15th edition and always capable of make progress. With a roll of honor to be the envy of more important events. Just mention the two Italians capable of lifting the trophy. One of her, Karin Knapp (scored in 2016), was able to reach number 33 in the WTA ranking and it was in her Castle that she won the last title of her career. The other, Jasmine Paolini, triumphed in 2019, right before the stop due to the pandemic. And that, for the Tuscan, was a real springboard, which gave her confidence for all the excellent results achieved later, until she reached the WTA number 12 seat. Precisely since that triumph of Jasmine, no Italian has reached the final. Who knows, maybe this will be a good year: it’s better to keep an eye on all of our teams, right from their debut in the qualifiers. Because surprises and confirmations have always mixed together in Brescia, creating the conditions for tournaments full of suspense, to be followed from start to finish.
