by LORENZO CIOTTI
Dayana Yastremska reached her final at the WTA in Lyon, her fifth career final. Yastremska won the match against Sorana Cirstea also thanks to winning backhand shots, today in a state of grace. Dayana deservedly wins after a long battle that ended with the final score of 7-6 (5) 4-6 6-4, which led her to face Shuai Zhang in the final of the tournament.
The Chinese tennis player eliminated Caroline Garcia with a score of 6-2 7-5. There are two precedents between Yastremska and Zhang, with the Chinese who won in 3 sets at Wimbledon 2019, in 2 the Ukrainian in Hong Kong in 2018.
Yastremska in this tournament was moved, and made her fans move, with the poignant words she had for her land, Ukraine, in these days at war against Russia, which invaded her country, telling the events that they were about her family.
