Tennis, the Women’s Internationals of the City of Caserta speak Spanish

Sixty-five years old and not hearing them. Indeed, of the historical heritage that makes it the flagship of Campania sport Tennis Club Caserta he brought out a great opportunity. Concreted in the best way because the 35th edition of the Women’s Internationals City of Casertawith prize money of 60 thousand dollars, was also one of the most beautiful, compelling and engaging.

Even on the day of the final, the stands in Via Laviano were packed with a demanding audience with a refined palate: therefore gratified by the very high level of the competitions staged throughout the entire week. And there really couldn’t have been a better ending. The Spanish girl Leyre Romero Gormaz (n. 216 Wta) she turned 22 on April 6th but displays the personality and temperament of a veteran. In the semi-final match she beat the number one on the draw, the Brazilian Laura Pigossi (119 Wta) with a peremptory 6/2 6/2.

This is how he presented himself to the more expert Jil Teichmann (214 Wta)a 26-year-old Swiss who only two years ago, following the round of 16 reached at Roland Garros she had risen to number 21 in the world rankings. And the week for the Swiss tennis player was truly one of great efforts and memorable comebacks. After baptizing the hostess Antonia AragosaTeichmann reversed it in the round of 16 Deborah Church therefore the French Hesse in the quarterfinals and semifinals, after an interminable battle of almost four hours the seventeen-year-old Japanese Sara Sajto (249 Wta) with the score of 1/6 7/6 7/6. In short, the premise already suggested that the two finalists would have damned their souls just to prevail on the other side. And so it was. There Gormaz had a better impact on the match, conceding only two games to the match Tiechmann in the first set. However, the Swiss has the skills of a diesel engine and a very polite arm, so she began to draw deeper and safer trajectories, taking the fight to her side in the second set which ended with a score of 6/4. The fourth daring comeback of the Caserta week, however, Tiechmann did not succeed and in the long run she succumbed to the greater freshness of the Spaniard. Gormaz did very well at keeping her wits about her and winning the important points. The third set was hers (6/4 the score) just like the Internazionali Femminili Città di Caserta, usually a launching pad for aspiring champions.
