Clara Burel vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto: Lausanne Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Clara Burel made an impressive return to the final in Switzerland, defeating compatriot Diane Parry in a tense two and a half hour match under artificial lights, with a 4-6, 7-6, 6-3 victory. Burel saved a crucial breakpoint in the second set that would have given Parry a chance to serve for the final. Parry, an unseeded player, had a remarkable run, beating former Lausanne finalists and other strong opponents after a two-month injury break. Burel has shown exceptional form recently, with notable performances in Strasbourg, Montpellier, and Palermo. This is Burel’s second WTA final, happening at the same location as her previous one two years ago, where she had a valiant effort but fell short against Tamara Zidansek.

Elisabetta Cocciaretto showed incredible resilience to reach her second WTA final in a dramatic match, enduring a left upper thigh issue and three rain delays while defeating Anna Bondar, 6-7, 7-6, 7-5. Remarkably, she became the first player in 2023 to win three matches from match point(s) down, achieving this twice in the same week. Throughout the tournament, the 22-year-old spent over 10 hours on the court across four rounds and had three matches that pushed her into the decider. Cocciaretto’s debut in Lausanne proved challenging, with her only straight-set victory requiring a comeback from 0-5 down in the first set (7-5, 6-3) against Elina Avanesyan. In her previous career final, she lost to Lauren Davis in Hobart, but she later secured a significant victory over Sara Errani at 125k San Luis Potosi.
