Lucia Bronzetti stops at the quarters in Ningbo

Lucia Bronzetti's adventure in the WTA 250 in Ningbo, China, stops in the quarterfinals. The Italian, seeded number 8 seed, surrendered in two sets (0-6 3-6) to Czech tennis player Linda Fruhvirtova, number 117 in the world rankings, after one hour and thirteen minutes of play.

Without history the first partial where Fruhvirtova concedes crumbs on serve and è cynical in response, taking advantage of almost all the break points she had at her disposal, closing 6-0 in her favor. The second set begins in the wake of the precendete with the Czech quickly rising to 3-0. Here finally comes the Italian's reaction, who climbs up to 2-3 but fails to even the score, giving up the serve again. Fruhvirtova consolidated the lead and also made the second set hers 6-3.

Bronzetti must thus bid farewell to the Chinese tournament, while Fryhvirtova will face in the semifinals the winner of the match between second seed Petra Kvitova and Russian Diana Shnaider, number 85 WTA.
