Yesterday at the WTA 1000 in Rome, a very special match took place at the BNP Paribas Arena. Tyra Grant and Lisa Pigato, two of the players who excite Italian women's tennis the most for the near future, were facing each other. Tyra claimed victory in a highly intense match: 1-6, 6-2, 6-4. At just 18 years and 54 days, Grant became the youngest Italian tennis player to stage a comeback in the Rome tournament since 1985, reviving a statistic not seen in over forty years. It's exciting to witness the evolution of this young woman in her early steps on the tour, as it will be to see her now face Victoria Mboko, another promising talent within the tour.
Generational 🔥
