New week of Spanish tennis dispersed in several ATP tournaments, as well as in the Wimbledon qualifying round, where both Marina Bassols and Nuria Párrizas managed to beat their rivals to advance on the path to the main draw.
Alejandro Davidovich brought a sad note to the day, as the Malaga native decided to withdraw from the Eastbourne tournament before playing Tuesday’s match. The reason is unknown. He was due to face Italian Lorenzo Sonego, but the match was suspended due to the Spaniard’s withdrawal. Thus, it was Wimbledon junior champion Henry Searle who took his place as lucky loser to face Sonego, who eventually won.
The rest of the Spaniards who participated in different tournaments have also been happy. The day began with Roberto Bautista, 122nd in the ranking, who won against Frenchman Ugo Humbert 3-6, 6-3 and 6-4. The world number 16 collapsed against the Spaniard, who advanced to the quarterfinals at the Mallorca Open. There he will face the other Spaniard, Roberto Carballés, 65th, who won against the Frenchman Gael Monfils, 40th, 6-3 and 6-4.
Paula Badosa, 113 in the world, also played this Tuesday at the Open Bad Homburg against the German Jule Niemeier, 96 in the ranking, to advance to the quarterfinals. She achieved it after a weaker start and won the last two sets 6-4, 2-6 and 1-6.
In doubles, Cristina Bucsa played alongside Japan’s Makoto Ninomiya in the round of 16 of the Eastbourne Tournament. They beat the pair formed by the Polish Magda Linette and the Czech Marie Bouzková by a double 6-4. Another Spaniard who is competing in a doubles tournament is Sara Sorribes who, together with the Japanese Eri Hozumi, beat the Taiwanese Veronika Kudermétova and Chan Hao-ching 6-3 and 6-1.
