Lucia Bronzetti reached the quarter-finals of WTA 250 Rabat 2024winning the Italian derby against Martina Trevisan. The student of the Piccari brothers once again demonstrated her feeling with the Moroccan tournament, where for the third consecutive year she reached the quarterfinals and continued the defense of the title won twelve months ago.
The challenge between the two athletes of the Italian Billie Jean King Cup team, both winners of the event in the past (Trevisan in 2022 and Bronzetti in 2023), had no history. Lucia won with a peremptory 6-2 6-3, showing off solid and convincing tennis.
After a balanced start, Bronzetti made the first extension from 3-2, breaking Trevisan’s serve in the sixth game and canceling three balls of the immediate counterbreak at 4-2. A somewhat demoralized Trevisan and in a period of low confidence gave up again, losing the first set 6-2.
In the second set, Trevisan tried to react, twice leading by a break, but in both cases Bronzetti managed to recover. At 4-3, Lucia’s decisive extension came with a break at fifteen, followed by a closing game which sealed the final 6-3.
In the quarter-finals, Bronzetti now awaits the winner of the match between Wang and Stearnsready to play her chances to continue the path towards the defense of the title won last year on the red clay of Rabat.
