Billie Jean King Cup: Sarah Sorribes dominates Mexican Fernanda Contreras

Spanish Sara Sorribes surpassed the Mexican Fernanda Contreras powerfully and closed the victory in two empty sets. 6-0 and 6-0 to give Spain the first point in the best-of-five match they play in Malaga against Mexico to gain access to the final phase Billie Jean King Cup.

After an hour and 17 minutes of the match, Spain’s No. 2 Sorribes celebrated a big victory over Fernanda Contreras, world No. 179 and Mexico No. 1, who couldn’t get up after the setback she suffered in the first set.

With the score at 1:0, the scoreboard had a very long second game with 36 points, which was decided in favor of Sorribes, who broke the serve of Contreras, who started very strong, but soon began to decline, especially in the psychological aspect.

From that tipping point in the second set of the match, the Spanish international followed an ascending line until he took a more competitive first set than the result (6-0) suggests.
