Sports writing, Jan 7 (EFE) .- The Spanish Sara Sorribes beat Argentina’s Nadia Podoroska with suffering 6-3 and 6-3, to place herself in the second round of the WTA 500 in Abu Dhabi and achieve her first victory of the year .
The player from Castellón, 66th in the world, solved a very difficult match against Argentina, 47th in the WTA, in which the serve was hardly valuable. There were a total of nine service breaks during the hour and 42 minutes of the duel, finally resolved by the Spanish who had also won in the two previous clashes.
Sorribes will face the next match against the American Bernarda Pera, who on Wednesday had beaten Croatian Dona Vekic.
With the victory of Sorribes, and that of Paula Badosa also on Wednesday, there are now two Spanish women who have passed the initial screening. This Thursday will take place the debut of Garbiñe Muguruza that begins against the French Kristina Mladenovic.
