A Colombian journalist inflamed by the match

-Iga still proves why she is by far the best player on the women’s tour. His forehand is virtually unmatched in the WTA. We saw a less brilliant version Needleswhen Osorio took her to the net. Your tennis player probably played better at the start of the match. Camila left a good impression. She took the service of the leader of the ranking several times and, despite the big advantage, Iga fought as best she could – assessed our Colombian interlocutor.

In the whole match, Świątek smashed his opponent up to six times. However, she also lost her serve three times. “Of course, it’s true that Osorio always wants to improve passing and sometimes he abuses shortcuts in exchanges. Nevertheless, our player’s performance was quite worthy – Sarmiento believes.

And he adds: – Faced with the most difficult match of his career, where the differences were clear, Osorio did not give up. She always tried to annoy her rival. Osorio was able to move Iga cleverly, pulling her from the baseline and extending the rallies – assesses the Colombian journalist.

Colombians in love with Osorio

In Colombia, confidence in Osorio, 21, is huge. – We hope that in a few years she will be confirmed as the best tennis player in the history of the country. We are not a nation with tennis traditions, but the development of Osorio has excited the public a lot – Sarmiento tells us.

Fabiola Zuluaga is the highest ranked Colombian tennis player to date. In January 2005, she was ranked 16th in the WTA rankings. Zuluaga has won five tournaments in her career, reaching the Australian Open semi-finals in 2004.

Osorio in April last year was even ranked 33rd in the world. She needs to improve in Grand Slams as her best result is still the third round of Wimbledon 2021.

– The courage of Osorio, which has long guided her game, has a lot of sympathy for her in Colombia. Camila realizes that she can improve a lot of things in her home Gamebut at the same time she is aware that she has talent and works hard to seize her chance – underlines our interlocutor.
