Buenos Aires Monnet Samson

Eliminated in the quarterfinals of the WTA 125 in Colina last week by Laura Samson (1-6, 6-2, 7-5), Carole Monnet wanted revenge against the Czech player. The two women met again in the first round of the WTA 125 in Buenos Aires. The match scenario was similar to the one from just a few days ago, as the Frenchwoman, ranked 158th in the world this week, took the lead to easily win the first set.

But the WTA's 233rd-ranked player gained momentum and eventually found the key to win in three sets (2-6, 6-2, 6-3 in 1h50). The 17-year-old player advances to the round of 16 where she could face another French player, Léolia Jeanjean. The unfortunate finalist in Colina, the world number 100, will challenge Luisina Giovannini in the coming hours and will therefore face Samson for a spot in the quarterfinals if successful.
