Sorribes traces back and smashes Brady, finalist in Australia
WTA TV
There are those who could underestimate the success of Sara Sorribes on her tour of Mexico, with her first title won in Guadalajara against Bouchard and the semifinals the following week in Monterrey, because it was two 250 tournaments without the top of the circuit. Well, the Castellón demonstrates in Miami, a WTA 1,000, that that was a warning and that she is ready to compete against the best players in the world, with more and better resources. In his premiere he starred in an incredible comeback against Bernarda Pera, when he raised a 5-1 in the third set, and this Friday he repeated the feat, although this time, nothing more and nothing less than against the 14th in the ranking, finalist of the last Australian Open and semifinalist of the US Open 2020. One of the fittest players in world women's tennis: Jennifer Brady. "You're a [CENSORED] animal" ("You're a [CENSORED] animal"), she told him during the final greeting on the net while she gave him a strong pat on the shoulder.

And it is that Sara won 3-6, 6-4 and 6-1 in 2:22 and destroyed her rival, literally. She made her run so much with her masterful changes of direction and the variety of her blows, that she ended up injured in the thigh of her right leg. In fact, with 3-1 on the scoreboard in the third set in favor of the Spanish, the 25-year-old American, one more than Sorribes, was completely blocked and had to serve from below because she could barely move. The heat 825 degrees at night), the humidity (81%) and the kilometers were endured much better by the player trained by Silvia Soler, who reached almost all the drops that her rival threw at her and will face on Sunday in the third round, height to which he arrives for the first time in Miami with humility but full of morals, to the Kazakh Elena Rybakina (21st favorite). "This is one of the best games I have ever played. I am super happy," she said at a press conference.

The result and the sensations of the first set, with the American in command and dominating plan, did not presage what happened later. Sara imposed the rhythm of her, endured, attacked when she could and barely had to defend herself, although when she did she also did well. Those qualities and her mental strength to a first and very stubborn opponent, gave her a very prestigious triumph against a tennis player whom she had already won in the previous one in Beijing three years ago, when it had not yet exploded. She joins the one that she achieved against Naomi Osaka in the Federation Cup last year, not to mention the donut that she made to Sabalenka also in 2020, although in the end she did not win. Sorribes keeps getting bigger.
