[ad_1]
Brazilian tennis said goodbye to the Australian Open this Wednesday (24), with the defeat in the quarterfinals of the pair of Luisa Setefani, the country’s last representative in the Grand Slam, in Meubourne. Alongside the Dutch Demi Shuurs, the São Paulo native was beaten 2 sets to 0 by partners Su Hsieh (Taiwan) and Elise Mertens (Belgium), Wimbledon champions (England) two years ago.
“Too bad today, I played hard. Credit to the opponents who played well and made us uncomfortable. At no point were we able to impose our game. We had some chances at the beginning of the second set, we took an early break in the first set. They “lobed” well, they neutralized the way we played very well”analyzed Stefani, referring to a move [lob] in which the tennis player hits the ball and it covers the opponent on the opposite side.
Stefani’s Grand Slam campaign could elevate the tennis player from the current 20th place in the world rankings to the top 15 next Monday (29), when the list is updated. From February 5th she will be on the court alongside compatriot Beatriz Haddad, to compete in doubles at the WTA 500 in Abu Dhabi.
Last Sunday (21), Bia’s partnership with North American Taylor Townseed said goodbye to Melbourne, after losing to the pair of Spanish Cristina Bucsa and Russian Alexandra Panova, by 2 sets to 0.
