Martinez triumphs in Austria
The Spaniard had a tremendous start, managing to keep the sheet clean throughout the entire opener as the crowd favorite could only witness her own ruining. Concerning the second round, it found Mayr threatening with a breaker, but yet again, it was Sanchez to break through to clinch the victory thanks to a late break which marked her fourth ever title.
The Austrian could have leveled the score had not she lost a 4-1 lead in the last set. Mayr won four games in a row after being led 0-1 early in the term, only to be stunned by an outstanding comeback from Sanchez who powered through to a five-game trot immediately. The Bad Gastein title must have given Martinez a lot of confidence for the rest of the season, taking into account that the previous season brought her a knee injury which kept her sideline for nearly two months.
Said the 28-year-old player: “At the start I was playing almost 100% perfectly. It’s normal to have a bit of difficulty after such a good start, but I stayed calm all the time until the end, and that’s why I won… It’s a really good step for me to play a lot of matches in the same week and build my confidence.”
As for Mayr, the youngster had her best week of career, but she unfortunately failed to grab her first title of career, as well. Her poor forehand cost her the victory on Sunday, but the remarkable results have given her more confidence for the rest of the term. Finally, she admitted Sanchez’s win, claiming that ‘she played very well – she started really well.”
En route to the final, Martinez had beaten Kateryna Bondarenko 6-1, 7-6 in the semis, Yvonne Meusbruger 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 in the quarter finals, Sandra Zahlavova 6-4, 6-2 in the second term and Paula Ormaechea of Argentine 7-6, 7-6 in the opening day. Concerning Mayr’s route to the last term, she had previously ousted Ksenia Pervak 6-0, 6-0 in the semi finals, Dia Evtimova 6-2, 6-2 in the final eight and Petra Martic 6-1, 6-4 in the second round. She started the Austrian adventure with a 6-0, 7-6 win over Lourdes Dominguez of Spain.
The head to head series between the world number 76 and Sanchez have gone 2-0 to the Spaniard whose first win against Mayr dates from the 2009 Bogota. On doubles, pair Eva Birnerova and Lucie Hradecka saved match point to Gajdosova and Julia Goerges whom they eventually defeated 4-6, 6-2, 12-10.
