WTA Cluj-Napoca: Sara Errani to the quarters, Elisabetta Cocciaretto eliminated

Half-smile for the Italian tennis players in the WTA 250 in Cluj-Napoca. Sara Errani è easily earned her way to the quarterfinals, smashing German Tatjana Maria, world number 49 and second seeded, 6-0 6-1 after an hour of play. A bitter defeat, on the other hand, for Elisabetta Cocciaretto, who è let herself be replaced by the British Harriet Dart, number 103 WTA, who è imposed herself with the score of 5-7 7-5 6-3 after two hours and 38 minutes of struggle.

"I know that she can play well so every time I try to be focused on every point – commented the tennis player from Romagna -. Next opponent? Both Camila and Karolina can be very dangerous – I will certainly watch the match. I really like to play here in Romania even though I never have time to go around too much".

Errani in the quarterfinals will face the winner of the match between Colombian Camila Osorio, number 101 in the world rankings, and Czech Karolina Pliskova, former world number one, currently ranked 78th in the WTA rankings.
