It all comes down to Sunday at Rome, where Francesca Jones faces Lucia Bronzetti for the trophy. Francesca Jones has won 4 in a row and 5 of the last 10 overall. Lucia Bronzetti brings a 4-match winning streak into this one, 7-3 across the last ten.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. Jones arrives with very little recovery time; Bronzetti arrives with very little recovery time. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Jones fractionally more likely to land the big points.
