Elisabetta Cocciaretto is among the best eight of the Rabat tournament. The goal of the quarter-finals was reached for the Italian and she prevailed with a comfortable result 6-4 6-2 over Zhuoxuan Bainumber 99 in the world, and gets the pass to the next round, where he waits one between Kamilla Rakhimova and the other Italian Camilla Rosatello.
The first set remains balanced for a long time, with Cocciaretto appearing to have a much better day on serve this time compared to what we saw yesterday. Bai also remains on track, even though his percentage of firsts is not very high, and in fact the moment of difficulty arrives in the ninth game: Down 0-40, he cancels the first two break points but on the third he crashes onto the tape. Break for the Italian, who takes the first set with a game to zero.
The Asian player feels the blow of the first set and finds herself facing two break points. Cocciaretto makes a mistake on the first, but on the second one it overshoots. The blue dominates the exchanges, so much so that he immediately widened the margin despite having to stop to treat some scrapes on his knee. The problems arrive at the closing moment, with the Italian not making the most of three match balls but on the fourth she manages to close the score with a crossed passer.
Solid match for Cocciaretto, who puts 75% of first serves on the court and wins 71% of the points with both the first and second serves, offering only one break point. And above all she wins 43% of rallies over her opponent’s firsts.
