In this way, the team led by Mercedes Paz from Tucumán will return to the American zone.
The young woman from Mar del Plata Solana Sierra, barely 18 years old and ranked 484 in the WTA ranking, could not face the Brazilian Laura Pigossi (114) and lost 6-0 and 6-3 in one hour and 13 minutes of play.
The fall of Sierra was added to that of Lourdes Carle against Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-3 and 6-3 in the first round for the final 1-3 in the series.
Carlé, born in Daireaux, province of Buenos Aires, and ranked 161 in the world, worked hard for an hour and 47 minutes but could not contain Haddad Maia, from São Paulo, ranked 15th on the planet and who is going through the best moment of her career after winning this year two tournaments on the circuit, in Nottingham and Birmingham, both in England and on grass.
The South American classic at the Tucumán Lawn Tennis Club facilities was tied after the first two points on Friday in which Haddad Maia beat Nadia Podoroska (204) from Rosario 6-1, 6-3, and then Paula Ormaechea left the tied series after beating Pigossi (114) by 6-2 and 7-5.
After those first two points, the Argentina captain opted to replace Ormaechea for the match against Haddad Maia and included Carlé in her place, while for the second point she removed Podoroska and replaced her with Sierra, considered the greatest promise of the Argentine tennis.
Sierra had beaten Pigossi this year in the American Zone played in Salinas, Ecuador, and her mood was higher than Podoroska’s, although the youngster from Mar del Plata was unable to avoid elimination against favorite Brazil.
Argentina and Brazil entered this instance of the playoffs after having passed the American Zone I that took place this year in Ecuador. With this result, the Argentines will return to the American zone and the Brazilians won the pass to the 2023 Qualifiers, where they will have the possibility of returning to the group of elite countries.
