Irina-Camelia Begu and Matilde Paoletti will take on each other in the second round of the 2022 WTA Emilia-Romagna Open September 28.
Viktoriya Tomova, Irina-Camelia Begu‘s first-round opponent in Parma, retired after falling behind 7-5, 5-1. This allowed Irina-Camelia Begu to move on to the second round. The Romanian entered the competition as the WTA 125 champion in Bucharest. She is the third seed in Parma. She has been excellent on clay this year, and Tuesday’s victory brought her record to 19-4. By defeating Lucia Bronzetti in the Palermo final, she captured her lone WTA title of the year on clay. This season, she has participated in three tour-level quarterfinals, including the Parma title match, a semifinal showing in St. Petersburg, and a quarterfinal showing in Melbourne Summer Set 2.
Matilde Paoletti, a local favorite, defeated Romanian qualifier Gabriela Lee in the first round to win her first match of the season. Paoletti is competing in only her second tour-level main draw event. She has done well in lower level tournaments, and her win on Tuesday improved her clay record to 16-7 and overall record to 16-8. The Italian, ranked 366th, came back from an early break down to win the first set. She got an early break in the second, but Lee came back with a double break to tie the game. However, the Italian dominated the third set. She dropped only two points on her serve and six on her return to defeat the World No. 150 6-4, 3-6, 6-0.
