Valentini Grammatikopoulou failed to pull off the… miracle against Lucia Bronzetti and lost 2-0 sets (6-2, 6-3), resulting in her elimination Hellas from Italy in the United Cup.
Greece was trailing 2-1 to Italy and only wanted a win from Grammatikopoulou, who was playing a much higher ranked player in the world.
The Greek No181 in the world, had a bad start to the match and although she went up afterwards, she missed important opportunities to get psychological and chase the upset against Bronzetti, No54 in the world ranking. It was thus defeated with 2-0 sets and Greece found itself losing 3-1 to Italy, while only the doubles in the “duel” between them remains. The Italians thus secured qualification to the final of the United Cup and our national team bids farewell to the tournament with… heads held high.
