Finally! This afternoon, Fiona Ferro claimed victory at the ITF of Biarritz, in a hard-fought final against the Turkish player Ipek Oz. A well-deserved success for the Azur native, who had just emerged from her semifinal this morning, which was suspended the day before due to heavy rains.
This morning, Fiona Ferro turned her semifinal around. The French player managed to defeat Timea Babos, after an impressive match. Interrupted by weather conditions last night, the match resumed late in the morning. After losing the first set and dropping a break in the second set, she intensified her effort to win 6-3. The Azur player continued her momentum, never relenting in the third set, and won the match (5-7/6-3/6-3) to advance to the final against the Turkish player.
A Semifinal Won with Determination
Two hours later, the Azur native delivered another closely contested match. The encounter concluded with a magnificent victory (7-5/6-3) against Ipek Oz (23 years old, ranked 251st in the world). After a tight first set, Fiona Ferro asserted herself decisively in the second set, breaking at 4-1, then again at 5-3. She emerged victorious in the subsequent game on her serve, asserting her dominance at this ITF of Biarritz. This was her second success of the year on the circuit, following her win at the Monastir tournament in Tunisia in February.
