Camila Giorgi overwhelms Ons Jabeur in Eastbourne. Lucia Bronzetti ok in Bad Homburg

Unbelievable Camila Giorgi: after losing last week in Birmingham in the third set to someone who is practically an almost former tennis player like 43-year-old Venus Williams, today in the round of 16 of the WTA on the grass of Eastbourne the 31-year-old from the Marche region overwhelmed Tunisian Ons Jabeur, world number 6. 6-3 6-2 in just over an hour and ten was the score by which Camila got the better of an opponent who on grass last year at Wimbledon reached the final.

In the first set there were as many as seven breaks, six in the first six games, the decisive one came in the eighth in favor of the Italian who never lost her serve again, snatching it again from the North African in the first and seventh games of the second set. Now in the quarters Camila will face a tennis player in her own image because she beats up any ball that comes her way, Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko, fresh winner of the Birmingham tournament itself.

In the round of 16 on the German grass of Bad Homburg, Lucia Bronzetti also won, in a comeback over Egypt’s Mayar Sherif, 1-6 7-6 6-3 after more than two hours and 50 minutes, and in the quarters she will face Russia’s Varvara Gracheva, now defending the colors of France.
