Podoroska, born in Rosario and ranked 298th in the WTA world ranking, starred in a great reaction and prevailed after two hours and 24 minutes over Bouchard (902), who was a Wimbledon finalist in 2014 when he placed in the fifth place in the women’s ranking.
The 25-year-old “Peque” will play one of the semifinals on Saturday against the young Czech prodigy Linda Fruhvirtova (130 and 17 years old), who then beat the Russian Varvara Gracheva (80) 6-4 and 6-3. The last time Podoroska played this instance was in 2020, when she broke into the top four at Roland Garros.
In the previous rounds, Rosario had beaten the Japanese Kyoka Okamura (297) and the German Tatjana María (84), and raised her level of play against a tennis player like Bouchard, who at 28 is trying to regain prominence on the circuit.
The Chennai Open in India will distribute prizes of $251,750 and quickly ran out of the top favorite for the title, American Alison Riske Amritraj (23), who lost in the opening round to Russian Anastasia Gasanova (147) by 6 -2 and 6-3.
