The Open Generali Ciudad de Palma del Río, a women’s ITF with $25,000 + Hospitality in prizes, already has its first champions of 2022. Last morning the doubles final ended with the victory of Valeria Savinykh and Fanni Stollar. The Russian and the Hungarian started as first seeds and in this way they fulfilled that condition by beating the Galician Celia Cerviño and the Lithuanian Justina Mikulskyte, who were the second seeded.
In this way Savinykh revalidated his title from last year in Palma, when he then won together with the Japanese Eri Hozumi. Last night she did it by forming a duo with the Magyar Stollar, showing herself to be very confident in service and resolute in the network. With all the first set it was more than equal since she reached the ‘tie break’, to end up winning 7-6 and 6-2.
Individual semifinals Open Generali City of Palma del Río
Jessika Ponchet and Lina Glushko will play one of the semifinals at the Open Generali Ciudad de Palma del Río, a women’s ITF with $25,000 + Hospitality in prizes, after beating Adithya Karunaratne from Hong Kong and Fanny Stollar from Hungary, respectively. Along with them, the Bulgarian Gergana Topalova also reached the penultimate round, who took advantage of the withdrawal of the number 1 seed, the Ukrainian Daria Snigur.
Snigur, who had dealt well with her first matches in Palma del Río, was initially surprised by Topalova, who in just twelve minutes of play had gone up 4-0 after holding her serve and breaking her rival’s first two services by the fast track. But it is that something was not going well on a physical level in the body of the Ukrainian, who, with a gastrointestinal process, chose to withdraw from the match.
Topalova’s rival in the semifinals will be the Catalan Marina Bassols, who achieved the last pass to the semifinals by defeating the Uzbek Nigina Abduraimova, third seeded, 6-4, 6-3 in an hour and twenty minutes of play
