Marina Bassols is currently experiencing one of her best moments in tennis. The Catalan tennis player has been showcasing great tennis for several months, yielding excellent results. First, a final in the WTA 125k Madrid and semifinals in the WTA La Bisbal, followed by her first breakthrough: qualifying for her first Roland Garros main draw after overcoming three matches in the qualifying rounds. Not content with that, her Grand Slam debut ended in victory, and to conclude her Paris experience, she took a set from Mirra Andreeva, the only set the Russian would lose on her way to the title.
This is Marina Bassols' final opponent to qualify for the Wimbledon 2026 main draw
But the WTA circuit does not stop, and less than a month after her journey in Roland Garros, Marina entered the Wimbledon qualifying rounds without much practice, but with the goal of replicating her Paris achievement, aiming to reach the main draw. In her debut, she had to work hard to defeat Lola Radivojevic (6-7(10), 6-2, 7-6(7), and today she defeated Xiyu Wang 3-6, 6-1, 4-0. Therefore, the 26-year-old player is one step closer to her first Wimbledon appearance. However, her final hurdle will be a player who just won the WTA s'Hertogenbosch and climbed 290 places: Robin Montgomery.
"I don't like to set ranking goals for myself, but I dream big. For me, being in the top 10 would be an incredible achievement, whenever it happens," stated the Blanes native in an interview with Mundo Deportivo after Roland Garros and before her Wimbledon campaign. If she manages to enter the coveted main draw, she would join Jessica Bouzas and Oksana Selekhmeteva. Meanwhile, it is already regrettable to see the elimination in the qualifying rounds of the other five players: Kaitlin Quevedo, Andrea Lázaro, Guiomar Maristany, Angela Fita, and Leyre Romero.
