Martina Trevisan’s Victory in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals: Italy vs France

The Italian campaign in these finals of the Billie Jean King Cup, the former Fed Cup that brought Italy so much glory in the past, begins with a smile, that of Martina Trevisan. When Italy and France are involved, the tension is cut with a knife. Especially because in 2022 the French had not reached the final phase at the hands of Tathiana Garbin’s girls. Martina Trevisan, Italian number 2, had the arduous task of breaking the ice in the first match of the Group D match and showed nerves of steel by turning around a match that had started very badly. The left-handed Italian won the match against Cornet 2-1 (2-6 6-2 6-2), preferred over Gracheva by captain Benneteau after the morning warm-up.

TREVISAN-CORNET 2-1

—

We start immediately with a break for the Azzurri but from there Martina’s serve stalls, six double faults, no serves held until sinking 6-2, stemming the losses in the first set. In the second set the left-handed woman tries to react, she starts again with the break but in the fourth game she gets caught up again by the player from Nice. Garbin, a coach who is also a great psychologist, manages to shake up Martina, capable more than once of overturning matches that seemed lost. Trevisan doubles the break, and Cornet begins to gasp between tiredness and the beginning of a nervous breakdown. Martina closes the second set not without suffering and takes the match to the third. She starts again with the blue break in a battle that becomes increasingly tense. The Florentine begins to find angles and vary trajectories, forcing Cornet to run in all directions. Another Italian break for the 3-0 but you can never relax and Alizet immediately recovers one by closing the distance. Trevisan immediately recovers from the moment of emptiness and wins three break points, extending 5-2 and closing 6-2 with Italy’s first point, a hug to captain Garbin and a dance of joy. Now it’s up to Jasmine Paolini who will have to deal with Caroline Garcia.
