Osorio Serrano shocks Giorgi to set up Tenerife final against Li
Two unseeded players will meet in Sunday’s final after the Italian was the last to fall
Maria Camila Osorio Serrano reached the final of the Tenerife Ladies Open as she knocked out Camila Giorgi, the last remaining seed in the tournament.
The Colombian picked up a 6-4, 7-5 triumph to set up a showdown with the USA’s Ann Li on Sunday.
The American had earlier secured a sound straight-sets win of her own to reach her second tour-level final, defeating France’s Alize Cornet 6-2, 6-1.
Li has enjoyed a good year in 2021; this time last year she was ranked world No 112 and she currently sits at world No 60.
In an odd quirk of the draw, both semi-finals were contested by players separated by a decade in age – Giorgi born in 1991, Osorio in 2001; Li in 2000, Cornet in 1990.
