Francisca Jorge’s not letting this one go away, just won the second set to level the match against Anastasia Zakharova: 3-6, 6-1 in her first match ever on a WTA 125 tournament.

Fognini igual a si próprio volta a sorrir em Portugal com vitória no Oeiras Open 125 | por Gaspar Ribeiro Lança raquetc.com/2024/04/16/fog…

Portuguese sisters Francisca Jorge/Matilde Jorge off to a good start this week, just beat Alicia Barnett/Freya Christie 6-3, 6-0 to reach the quarter-finals.

They reached the final when this was an ITF W100 last year.

2023 runner-up Masarova out in the opening round this year.

It’s a happy return to Portugal for Fabio Fognini. The top seed battles from a set down to beat Joris de Loore (who won the maiden challenger title of his career in this venue, but on indoor hard courts) 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 and reach the #OeirasOpen125 R2.

A nice crowd for Fabio Fognini’s first round match against Joris de Loore here in Oeiras!

27 unforced errors from Cobolli in the opening set?!

Harriet Dart returns to Portuguese soil with a 6-2, 6-4 win against 17-year-old Portuguese Maria Garcia from 2-4 down in the second set.

She will face another Portuguese: 20-year-old Matilde Jorge.

Excelente vitória para Nuno Borges em Bucareste. Na estreia como cabeça de série em torneios ATP, o número um nacional dá a volta a Stan Wawrinka e vence o suíço (campeão de três torneios do Grand Slam e um dos poucos a intrometer-se entre os Big Three) por 3-6, 7-5 e 6-2!

16 straight wins and counting for Gastão Elias in the Central Court here in Oeiras, where he was 6-1, 1-1 up on Maks Kasnikowski when the Pole retired due to a right leg injury suffered in the beginning of the match.

Through to the 2nd round of the #OeirasOpen125 .

Ugo Blanchet battles from 2-5 down in the second set and spoils the Portuguese party on Central Court by beating Henrique Rocha 6-3, 7-6(1) in the first round here in Oeiras.

Clara Tauson starts the week with an emphatic 6-3, 6-1 win over Carole Monnet.

She’s won a title in Portuguese soil in the past and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see her lift another one at the end of the week.

Renata Zarazua wastes no time on her way past Alycia Parks: 6-0, 6-2 in 1h08.

Terrible day for Parks: only 45% of first serves in (won 58% of those points, 22% under her second serve), 13 double faults and pretty much a blur with her return apart from a game in the first set.
