End of the road: Ortenzi fought hard, but bowed out in Bogotá semis | OneFootball

End of the road for Jazmín Ortenzi. The Argentine (206th in the world rankings) fell in the semifinals of the WTA 250 in Bogotá, in the best week of her career.

The Czech player Marie Bouzkova (26th), the tournament’s top seed, was too much: she won 7-6 (5), 6-2 in nearly two hours in a match that was closer than the final score suggests.

The player from Chilecito, La Rioja, had arrived after defeating her compatriot Julia Riera (186th) to reach a WTA-level semifinal for the first time. In fact, she had never won a match at this level before.

It is also worth remembering that she defeated Camila Osorio, the defending champion and the crowd favorite.

Even so, beyond this defeat, she secured a rise into the Top 170 of the world rankings for what will be her first time among the top 200. The player from Chilecito, La Rioja, also came through qualifying, which makes her performance even more remarkable.
