Sara Errani caused the biggest upset at the Copa Colsanitas on Tuesday as she took out the second seed Sara Sorribes Tormo, 7-5, 7-5. The match lasted two hours and 11 minutes and featured 14 service breaks in total. In the pre-quarter-finals, the former French Open finalist will play another Spaniard in Aliona Bolsova.
In a match that had some controversial umpiring, Giulia Gatto-Monticone got the better of Astra Sharma. The Italian won 4-6, 7-5, 6-1 in two hours and 23 minutes. In the final set, with Gatto-Monticone serving in the third game, Sharma had three break points but the umpire erroneously called 30-15.
The lapse in concentration led to Sharma’s game collapsing for the rest of the match. After the match, Sharma sarcastically tweeted, “Update: WTA supervisor said I should learn my lesson and focus more on the score instead of my tennis in the future.
My confusion is not an excuse”. Meanwhile, in the second round, Gatto-Monticone will take on fifth seed Tamara Zidansek. The Slovenian defeated Anna Kalinskaya 6-0, 7-5 in an hour and 19 minutes.
