No ITF W35 de Orlando, nos Estados Unidos, Carolina Bohrer Martins caiu na estreia nesta quarta-feira (4). A número 610 do ranking mundial perdeu por 2 sets a 0 (6/2 e 6/4) para Dasha Ivanova, 742ª colocada.
Ivanova começou melhor e quebrou o saque da brasileira no primeiro game; confirmou a seguir e abriu 2 a 0. Carolina venceu o primeiro game de serviço e reduziu para 2 a 1, mas não devolveu a quebra. A americana manteve o controle, quebrou de novo no quinto game (4 a 1), confirmou o saque para 5 a 1 e viu a brasileira diminuir para 5 a 2 antes de fechar o set por 6 a 2, com duas quebras a favor.
O segundo set teve roteiro parecido no início: quebra no game de abertura e confirmação na sequência, novamente 2 a 0. Carolina passou a devolver melhor, reduziu para 3 a 2 e conseguiu sua primeira quebra na partida, empatando em 3 a 3. Em seguida, confirmou o serviço e virou para 4 a 3, liderando pela primeira vez.
A reação, porém, parou ali. Ivanova venceu os três games seguintes, empatou em 4 a 4, quebrou no nono game para fazer 5 a 4 e, sacando para a vitória, fechou em 6 a 4, garantindo vaga nas oitavas de final.
