“It was a difficult match for both of us. We know each other very well and it was very emotional. I’m glad I made it,” said Sorribes after a two-hour match, who plays doubles with Bouzka’s friend and sometimes together. In the shortened game, the Spaniard was already leading 6: 0, the three tennis players were still averted by the Czech tennis player, but in the fourth she already capitulated.
Bouzková failed to follow up on the final participation in the February Phillip Island Trophy in Melbourne. Her conqueror can look forward to the first title match at the WTA circuit.
The rival of the 71st player of the world ranking Sorribes in the final will be the Canadian Eugenie Bouchardová, who defeated the Italian qualifier Elisabetta Cocciaretto 6: 2, 7: 2. The former world number five and Wimbledon finalist, who ranks 144th in the rankings, will strive for the second title in her career. So far, she won the WTA tournament only in May 2014 in Nuremberg, where she defeated Karolína Plíšková in the final.
