Rebeka Masarova reaches final in Auckland

MADRID, 7 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish tennis player Rebeka Masarova has advanced this Saturday to the final of the Auckland (New Zealand) tournament, in the WTA 250 category and played on hard courts, after beating the Belgian Ysaline Bonaventure in the semifinals (6-3, 6-3). .

The Basel-born tennis player, number 130 in the world, defended her serve in a first set in which a break in the fourth game was enough to take the lead. Already in the second set, she took the lead 5-1 and, after losing her serve for the first time in the match, she closed the contest on her third opportunity.

Thus, after just over an hour of play, Masarova guaranteed her place in the final, where she will face the American Coco Gauff this Sunday, who defeated the Montenegrin Danka Kovinic (6-0, 6-2) in the other semifinal. ).

In addition, the Spanish will enter the 'Top 100' of the WTA ranking next week, rising at least 36 positions to position 94. Facing Gauff, Masarova aspires to win the first title for Spanish women's tennis for a year, when Paula Badosa achieved it in the Sydney tournament.
