Having to start again from the qualifiers despite having played the final the previous year. This also happens to Lucia Bronzetti, but the WTA 250 in Bad Homburg smiles at her after a truly troubled day. For the Italian, in fact, the victory over the German comes Tamara Korpatsch by 3-6 6-0 6-1 and, therefore, reaching the main draw.
Yes, main draw after a single round of cadet draw. A completely unique situation in the WTA, but also justified by the fact that, with the scoreboards reduced to the bare minimum by the simultaneous presence of the Wimbledon qualifiers (in Roehampton), a virtue must be made of necessity and this is the solution of the event that will take place plays in Hesse.

First set that goes in spurts: 0-3 Korpatsch, 3-3, 3-6 for the German. In practice, three breaks that follow each other in a differently symmetrical way and which give the partial to the hostess. Then it’s only Bronzetti, with the Rimini girl flying away and not even being intimidated by a very long interruption caused by the rain: 3-6 6-0 6-1 and goal achieved.
For the Italian, now, the Croatian will be in the main draw Donna Vekic, which this season on grass is at least within a variation on the theme. So far, in fact, you have made your debut in the two previous tournaments (‘s-Hertogenbosch and Berlin) with as many German teams, beating them and then exiting in the second round. For Bronzetti it is a question of giving continuity to the similar result obtained in Birmingham.
