For the resumption of the WTA circuit, the Valbonnaise licensed at the Nice TCL qualified for the finals of the Palermo tournament.
As the season resumes, Fiona Ferro is undoubtedly the most prominent French player on the circuit. After winning two of the three FFT Elite Challenge tournaments (Cannes and Nice) in mid-July, the young Frenchwoman can’t be stopped. On Saturday evening, she had to battle against the Italian Camila Giorgi, who was playing at home. Despite a difficult start, Ferro managed to turn the situation around by winning the last two sets. By winning with a score of 2/6 – 6/2 – 7/5, the young French player (23 years old) will enter the top 50 of her career for the first time. Should she win today against Estonian Anett Kontaveit (world no. 22), who defeated the No. 1 seed Petra Martic (6/2 – 6/4), she could find herself at the 44th position in the WTA rankings.
The match begins at 7:30 p.m.
