The Argentine tennis player María Lourdes Carlé fell today in the final of the WTA 125 IEB+Argentina Open against the Brazilian Laura Pigossi, and was unable to crown her great week in the competition that took place at the facilities of the Tenis Club Argentino.
The one born in Daireaux, province of Buenos Aires, and 175th in the WTA world ranking, lost in straight sets 6-3 and 6-2, in 1 hour and a half of play.

In the previous round, the statistics did not support the 23-year-old local tennis player, who had already lost the three previous matches against the São Paulo player.
The most recent, on October 29 of this year, in the final of the 2023 Pan American Games. On that occasion, Pigossi had also triumphed in straight sets to take the gold medal.

On this occasion, Carlé, who had just hit the quarter-final against Frenchwoman Diane Parry (77), first seed and top favorite for the title, could not find a way back in the match and had trouble maintaining her serve.
In fact, he could only win the game with his serve only twice, once per set, and scored 43% of points with his first serve.
With this victory, the Brazilian tennis player will now climb to 108th in the world ranking, while Carlé will begin the week in 140th place.
The WTA 125 in Argentina was played on clay and distributed a total of $115,000 in prizes.
