The Colombian Angelica Bernal won an important victory in wheelchair tennis after achieving classification to Wimbledon's semifinals in the doubles mode. Now he looks for his first final in a Grand Slam tournament.
Bernal, in the company of the French Ksenia Chasceau, won with authority in two sets (6-3 and 7-6) to the pair formed by the China Zhenzhen Zhu and the Japanese Manami Tanaka, in a meeting that had an adjusted outcome that was resolved in the Tie-Break.
This is the second time in her career that the 30 -year -old Colombian tennis player reaches the semifinals of the only prestigious tournament held at the All England Club. The first time he got it on the London lawn was in the 2021 edition.
Bogota is a usual competitor in the main events of wheelchair tennis and has an outstanding position in the world ranking: it is currently the number 10 of the world in the doubles modality and occupies the sixth box in singles.
For Bernal, the dream of reaching his first final in Wimbledon is getting closer and depends on a victory in the next round over the winning pair of the duel between Lizzy of Greef and Aniek Van Koot against Diede de Groot and Lucy Shuker.
