Bia Maia rocks and brings Brazil ahead of Italy in the Italian Cup

Brazil takes the lead in the match which still has four games, one of them this morning

Excellent first match by Beatriz Haddad Maia, 15th ranked in the world, to open the new season in the new United Cup, a mixed team competition held in Australia.

Playing on the fast Brisbane court, the São Paulo native overtook the Italian number 1, Martina Trevisan, in 27th place, scoring 2 sets to 0 with a sensational 6/2 6/0 after 1h18min duration.

The match started with a break from the Brazilian after a double fault from her rival. Trevisan then recovers with mistakes by the Brazilian. But Bia opened 3-1, had opportunities to expand. Martina holds her serve, but then ends broken and the first set goes to Bia for 6/2 with an unforced error from the European Championship.

In the second set, the paulista opened two breaks and was the master of the match, breaking again to close the coffin with a rubber, leaving the blues desolate. He saved a break point in the last match with an unforced error from the Italian.

Brazil goes out ahead of Italy in Group E of the competition and another match will end today with Felipe Meligeni, 166th, who will face Lorenzo Musetti, 23rd, in a confrontation with the number 2 of each nation in the men’s game. The confrontation will only be defined from 21 this Thursday, Friday morning, Australian time, with Thiago Monteiro who will fetch Matteo Berrettini, Laura Pigossi who will face Lucia Bronzetti and the mixed doubles with Luisa Stefani and Rafael Matos pre-climbed.

With the win, Bia Maia will score 40 points in the WTA world rankings.
