Roland Garros: Lucia Bronzetti falls short, passes Jabeur

Bitter debut for Lucia Bronzetti at Roland Garros. The Italian, fresh from winning her first WTA title in Rabat, failed in her feat of overturning the odds against Ons Jabeur. The world number 7, in fact, prevailed in just over an hour of play with the scores of 6-4 6-1.

In the first set, the Rimini tennis player managed to come back from a double break, but in the tenth round the Tunisian limited her errors, closing the first set without conceding a single point to her opponent. In the second set, however, the Italian was unable to hold her own against Jabeur.

In the last edition of the Paris tournament among the women, Iga Swiatek prevailed, getting the better of Coco Gauff in two sets (6-1, 6-3) in the final. Topping the roll of honor is Chris Evert, the U.S. outfielder who lifted the top trophy on seven occasions between 1974 and 1986.
