Good first for Martina Trevisan in the “Open 6ème Sens Métropole de Lyon”, WTA 250 tournament endowed with a prize pool of $ 239,477 which is taking place on the fast indoor of the Palais des Sports de Gerland of the city that rises at the confluence of the Rhone and Saone rivers.
The 28-year-old left-handed from Florence, n.92 WTA, was awarded for 63 62, in just over an hour and a half of playthe tricolor derby against Elisabetta Cocciaretto, n.232 WTA (in competition with protected ranking).
The 28-year-old left-handed from Florence had won in three sets the only previous one with the 21-year-old from Fermo in the round of 16 of the ITF in Santa Margherita di Pula in 2019. In addition, the Marchigiana had only played two matches (in the qualifying for the Australian open halfway through January) in the past seven months due to the after-effects of the knee injury. Trevisan had to face two break points already in the opening game, Cocciaretto one in the second. The break that decided the first set was scored by Martina in the eighth game, then closing 6-3 in the one following the first set-point.
At the start of the second fraction Cocciaretto reduced the number of errors and became more and more incisive in response and the Tuscan left-handed had to cancel a ball-break in the second game and four in a fourth infinite game, which lasted 16 points (2-2 ). Elisabetta paid the price in the following game by giving the joke to Martina who confirmed the advantage by climbing 4-2. The Marchigiana suffered a second break and Trevisan with the fifth game won consecutively archived the practice (6-2) with the blow that gave her the most satisfaction, the backhand (on the match-point hit early on the fly).
It should be noted that Martina canceled all seven vreak balls offered, two in the first set and five in the second.
On Thursday in the second round Trevisan will find the French Caroline Garcia on the other side of the net, 28 year old from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, no 74 WTA, who beat Camila Giorgi in comeback.
