Draw in comeback for Park Tennis Genova against Foligno in women’s A2
Park Tennis Genoa draws Foligno Tennis Training in comeback on the fifth day of the Serie A2 Women’s Championship. The Gialloblù rise to 5 points, the result of a victory and two draws.
It was a particular Sunday, played with a strong presence of wind that will certainly have influenced the performance of all the girls on the field. Excellent start for Costanza Traversi who won the first set against Chiara Girelli (6-4) but then got lost losing the remaining two partials (1-6 and 2-6). Corinna Dentoni also struggled on and off. Lost the first set (1-6) against Maria Toma, the yellow-blue clearly won the second set (6-0)
Great day, however, for Anita Bertoloni who won her single and dragged the double alongside Corinna Dentoni. Anita beat Sofia Pizzoni 2-1 (6-4, 2-6, 6-1) reopening the challenge. In the double Bertoloni-Dentoni they outclassed Girelli-Pizzoni winning the draw. The Gialloblù win the first set in comeback (6-4) closing the first set point thanks to Bertoloni’s service who, in great shape, signs a winning backhand that is worth the 5-2 break in the second set. With a volee ‘on Dentoni’s winning line, Park closes 6-2 and takes home a precious point. Next Sunday the last effort in Rome against Aniene.
“It was yet another test of great character”, underlines the captain, Giorgia Buchanan. “The match had gone bad after the first two singles and the girls were good at believing it. Playing today with this wind and these conditions was not easy. Too bad because I was hoping to win. Once again Anita Bertoloni was fantastic. She always puts in the 1000 per 1000 and has dragged us into this precious recovery “.
