Elisabetta Cocciaretto in third round at Roland Garros, Cristina Bucsa knocked out
Roland Garros: Elisabetta Cocciaretto-Cristina Bucsa 6-1 6-4
Elisabetto Cocciaretto’s path to Roland Garros 2024 continues. The Italian tennis player, in fact, è imposed herself with a clear 6-1 6-4 over the Spanish Cristina Bucsa, in one hour and twelve minutes of play, detaching the pass for the third round for the second consecutive edition.
The first set è without history: the Ancona native took advantage of her opponent's numerous errors to immediately take the lead and close the partial 6-1 in not even half an hour of play. There è more balance in the second set, but Bucsa struggled to be incisive in the important moments of the match. After failing two break points, in fact, the Iberian cedes her service on the fifth attempt in the fifth game. The "NO" day of the 1998 class player becomes clearer in the closing stages of the match, where she fails to materialize two more opportunities to get back into the match. At that point Cocciaretto unceremoniously closed the games on 6-4.
In the third round, the Italian player will face the Russian number 17 in the seeding Liudmila Samsonova (no previous so far between the two).
