After losing in the second round of qualifying, Nadia Podoroska (No. 84) entered as a lucky loser and beat local Ashlyn Krueger in her debut 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.
The season of Nadia Podoroska It was in darkness in the first three months of the year, with only one victory in seven presentations. To make matters worse, she had been eliminated in the second round of the WTA 1000 qualifiers in Indian Wells, but the loss of the Spanish Paula Badosa made her enter the main draw as lucky loser.
In his debut in main draw, Nadia Podoroska, No. 84 in the WTA ranking, won against the 19-year-old American, Ashlyn Krueger (71st) by 3-6, 6-3 and 6-3 in two hours and one minute . After having lost the first set 6-3, she recovered in time and took the other two by the same result, in a very changeable match, which from the middle of the second set, the Rosario dominated.
That period of the match was characterized by the large number of errors that the American made, well taken advantage of by Nadia Podoroska, who despite having started the last set with a break against her, did not lose her composure and imposed conditions to close the match .
Nadia Podoroska dreams of taking off
The triumph appears as a great springboard for Nadia Podoroska due to the great emotional charge it had. After a start to the year in which she had barely won a match, she sealed a more than special victory, as it was her first in a WTA 1000 event in three years.

The last time the Rosario had won in a tournament of this kind was in Montreal 2021, when she defeated the Polish Magda Linette in the first round. The next exam that Nadia Podoroska will take in Indian Wells will be highly complex: she will face the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, the number 4 in the WTA ranking.
