The rain is conditioning the expected program of parties of the International Open of San Sebastián, the appointment of the WTA 125 that is played until … Sunday at Ondarreta tennis. Only two complete matches could be played on Wednesday-the victories in sixteenth-end by Romero Gormaz to Esquiva Banuls 6-2 and 6-0 and Fita Boluda to Martínez Circez 3-6, 6-2 and 7-6 (7-1)-and two others corresponding to the round of the round of 16 2-4 for the Dutch in the third and the one who had just started Korpartsch and Sherif with an advantage of two games to one.
What means that six eighth games were left without playing: Todoni-Radivojevic, Selekhmateva-Mintegi, Recrher-Banstine, Burillo Escorihuela-Semenista, Romero Gormaz-Fita Boluda and Koevermans-Bejlek.
The forecast is that weather improves in the next das. It will be then when these games are played and it is likely that even a player will have to bend on the same day to be able to play the complete picture before Sunday when the finals are planned.
The rain and the wind that marked the day on Wednesday afternoon prevented Anne Mintegi from playing his second game of the tournament after his brilliant premiere on Tuesday against Diechmann by 6-3 and 6-2 in 70 minutes. It is expected this Thursday.
Yes, the number 99 of the world ranking and head of the tournament, the Egyptian Mayar Sherif, who on Tuesday was clearly 6-1 and 6-1 of Nahia Berecoechea, the French with Donostiarras origins that is trained in Barcelona.
Sherif has a beautiful story behind because she is the first Egyptian who wins tennis tournaments and is trained by the Ilicitano Justo González. But the curious thing is that he decided to interrupt his incipient career when he trained at the Juan Carlos Ferrero Academy to move to the United States to study the Medicine career. Few believed him when he said he would play again when he finished his studies but she fulfilled. In 2019, he got to work and has climbed up to the 44th place in the ranking. In recent months he has won WTA 250 and 125 tournaments.
The Tournament program for this Thursday (18.45 hours) a talk with six influential women: Anabel Medina, Isabel Busto, Nerea Ibáñez, Idoia Azaldegui, Nuria Vegas and Marta Ormazabal.
