Bouzas Maneiro Looks to Extend Progress
Jessica Bouzas Maneiro is coming off a successful grass swing, reaching the third round at Wimbledon and the quarterfinals in Nottingham, an encouraging improvement after her difficult start to the season.
The Spaniard struggled for results earlier in the year, winning only four main-draw matches before the second week of May. Since then, she has steadily improved, reaching the semifinals of the WTA 125 Parma event and the quarterfinals in Rabat.
Overall, Bouzas Maneiro has played 18 tournaments this season, with nine ending in the opening round. However, her improved form during the grass swing should give her confidence heading into the inaugural event in Athens.
