Another victory for Fiona Ferro in Barranquilla. Facing Romanian Irina Fetecau, the Azurรฉenne won decisively to reach the semifinals of the tournament.
As the favorite in the match, Fiona Ferro dominated against Irina Fetecau (27 years old, 846th in the world). The Romanian, who has never surpassed the top 200, has struggled to string together matches over the past two years. Against the former world No.39, there was no contest. Though the first set was closely contested (6-4) with numerous breaks on both sides, the second set was one-sided (6-0). The Azurรฉenne claimed victory in 1 hour and 30 minutes in the Colombian night.
In the next round, she will face the tournament’s No.2 seed, Anna Karolina Schmiedlova. A player in great form this year, as she notably reached the round of 16 at Roland-Garros. The task will be much more challenging to hope to reach the final. The encounter is set once again for the Colombian night around 2:30 in the morning.ย
