Paula Badosa sweeps her Wimbledon debut

MADRID, 28 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa won this Tuesday in her debut in the first round of the Wimbledon tournament, the third 'Grand Slam' of the season, against the American Louisa Chirico (6-2, 6-1), against whom she needed less than an hour to guarantee the pass.

The Catalan, current number four in the world, hardly found resistance in the unknown North American tennis player, sunk in the 236th step of the WTA ranking. A break in the fourth game of the opening set led to a set that he sentenced with another break in the eighth.

Already in the second round, Badosa started strong with a 4-0 that put the contest on track. Although Chirico responded with a counterbreak (4-1), he broke his serve again to confirm it in the next game and close the match in 55 minutes.

Now, the Spaniard will meet in the second round with the winner of the duel between the Romanian Irina Bara and the French Chloe Paquet, numbers 122 and 106 in the world, respectively.

For her part, Nuria Párrizas said goodbye to the London 'great' after losing in two sets in her debut against the American Claire Liu (7-5, 6-3). Despite the fact that the Granada-born woman took a 5-3 lead and had a serve to close the first set, the North American linked four wins to come back. A solitary break in the sixth game earned him the victory.
