ITF W75 Trnava. Hard indoors. Round of 16
Tatiana Maria (Germany) – Anastasia Soboleva (Ukraine) – 6:1, 6:3
This was the first meeting of the rivals. In the 1/8 finals of the 75-thousand tournament, Tatiana will play either against Tamara Korpach, or against a tennis player from the qualification.
Soboleva played her fourth match against a representative of the top 100. She has only 1 win on her account. In June 2024, Anastasia defeated Lucia Bronzetti at the WTA 125 event in Bari.
After that victory, there were three defeats in a row against tennis players from the top 100 of the WTA ranking: Maylar Sherif, Nadia Podorosci and now Tatiana Maria.
A week earlier, Soboleva also performed on the Trnava courts. Then she lost to Dominika Salkova in the 2nd round.
