WTA / Lyon – Clara Burel: “I worked well, I did not give up”


And here is Clara Burel again! Already very prominent in the first round in Lyon, with her success in front of Alizé Cornet, the 19-year-old Frenchwoman continues to confirm and will try a difficult pass of three on Friday, against Fiona Ferro.

Clara Burel, after taking out Alizé Cornet in the first round in Lyon, offered herself a second Top 100 player in the person of Aliaksandra Sasnovitch (7-5, 2-6, 6-0).

“It’s nice to win games like that, it’s been a long time since I had chained two tournaments with so many victories. “

Last week, the revelation of Roland-Garros 2020 was bowed in the final of the ITF tournament in Poitiers.

“It is the fruit of continuous work. I prepared well this winter, I worked well and I did not give up, so I keep this level. My game is not yet fully in place, but game after game is getting better and better. I played several hooks also last week, so it’s starting … “

Burel already guaranteed to join the Top 200

And there will be a Frenchwoman in the semi-finals on Saturday, since Burel will face Fiona Ferro, seeded N.2 and another compatriot to have broken through at Roland Garros less than six months ago.

“We know each other well, we train from time to time together,” Burel continues. She has developed well in recent months, she plays great tennis and it will be very difficult. But I can’t wait to meet her! I’ll try to forget that it’s her, that it’s a Frenchwoman… It’s never easy, but we don’t have much choice. If we want to win, we have to disregard it. It’s not always obvious, that’s for sure. “

Already guaranteed to join the world top 200 at the end of the tournament, it could still approach a little more than the first 150 in the event of a new exploit against Ferro.
