In last night’s match, the 29-year-old Italian, currently ranked 54º in the world rankings, battled for more than two hours and three quarters against the American Caroline Doleheide, ranked 111º in the world rankings. Despite a promising start with a 3-0 lead in the first set, Martina missed four match-points, three of them consecutive in the 12th game and the other in the tie-break of the second set.

"To be honest I just had to find a way to win. When I faced match-points I just told myself 'do what you train for' something my coach tells me every single day of my life. I just played with my tennis, bringing out my best shots, and in the end I won the set. And that gave me a lot of confidence for the third", the hot words of the winner.
