Clara Burel won in three sets against her compatriot Diane Parry in the semi-final of the Lausanne tournament.
The French Clara Burel (84th in the world) overthrew her compatriot Diane Parry (90th in the world) 4-6 7-6 (7/2) 6-3 and qualified for the final of the WTA 250 tournament in Lausanne, played on clay.
The duel between the two French women, who met for the third time on the circuit, therefore turned to the advantage of the best ranked in three sets.
Parry, 20, seeded N.9 in the tournament, won the first set (6-4) by leading the score quickly thanks to an entry break, before relying on a solid first ball.
In a tighter and more undecided second set during which each of the players grabbed her opponent’s serve several times, it was Burel, 22, who recovered after a controlled tie-break (7- 6 7/2).
In the third set, Burel finally took the game on his own (6-3), allowing him to win in 2 hours 29 min.
After failing in the final in Lausanne in 2021, Clara Burel will try to win this time to clinch her first WTA title on Sunday.
In the final on Sunday, she will face the Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto, seeded number 2 and 42nd player in the world, winner a little earlier of the Hungarian Anna Bondar 6-7 (7/3) 7-6 (8/6) 7- 5.
