Naná Silva está fora da final do WTA 125 de Curitiba. Neste sábado, a brasileira foi superada pela francesa Alice Tubello, 207ª do ranking, por 2 sets a 0, com parciais de 6/0 e 6/1 — um “pneu” logo na primeira parcial.

Mesmo com a derrota, a campanha representa um salto na carreira. A jovem brasileira entrou pela primeira vez no top 500 e aparece na 460ª posição do ranking ao vivo da WTA, sua melhor colocação até hoje. Também foi a primeira vez que alcançou a semifinal de um torneio desse porte, depois de derrotar duas top 200 nas rodadas anteriores e de avançar com a desistência da britânica Francesca Jones, 98ª do mundo.

Na quadra, porém, não conseguiu repetir o jogo das partidas anteriores. Tubello foi dominante desde os primeiros games e quebrou os serviços da brasileira para fechar a primeira parcial em 6 a 0.

O roteiro seguiu parecido no início do segundo set, com muitos erros da brasileira nos fundamentos. A francesa chegou a 5 a 0 e quase fechou com novo 6 a 0. Naná ainda conquistou seu primeiro game na partida, fazendo 5 a 1, mas a vantagem da adversária era grande demais e o set terminou em 6 a 1.
