Tight checks do not scare Elisabetta Cocciaretto.

The second-seeded Cocciaretto rallied for a 6-7(3), 7-6(6), 7-5 win over Anna Bondar to succeed in her her second last of the season on the Ladies Open Lausanne.

Rain delayed play and created heavy situations on the crimson clay.

Bondar battled by the first-set tiebreaker. In the second set, Cocciaretto asserted her aggression a bit extra knocking off a smash to take the second-set tiebreaker and power a decider.

Despite carrying taping round her proper shoulder and left thigh, Cocciaretto was transferring easily within the last set. Pushing Bondar corner-to-corner she provoked an error to interrupt again for 3-3 within the decider.

Cocciaretto reeled off eight of the final 10 factors to safe a spot in her second last of the season and first since she was runner-up to Lauren Davis within the Hobart last final January. Cocciaretto improved to 18-13 on the season, together with a 5-4 file in three-setters.

The world No. 42 will play a Frenchwoman, both Diane Parry or Clara Burel, in tomorrow’s Lausanne last.
