Lucia Bronzetti (born 10 December 1998) is an Italian professional tennis player. She has career-high WTA rankings of No. 46 in singles and No. 375 in doubles. She has won one singles title on the WTA Tour, at the 2023 Morocco Open, and has also reached eight singles finals on the ITF Women's Circuit, of which she won five.

Early life and background[edit]

Bronzetti was born in Rimini and grew up in Verucchio.[1][2] She began playing tennis at the age of 10 at the suggestion of her aunt,[3] and took lessons at the Tennis Club Valmarecchia in Pietracuta.[4]

Her training base is in Anzio.[5][6] She also trains at the Circolo Tennis Viserba, outside of Rimini.[4]

Professional career[edit]

2021: WTA Tour debut and first wins[edit]

In May 2021, Bronzetti was awarded a wild card into the singles qualifying rounds of Italian Open, but failed to advance to the main draw.[7] She and partner Nuria Brancaccio were awarded a wildcard into the doubles main draw, but lost in the first round to Coco Gauff and Veronika Kudermetova.[8] She was also given a wild card into the qualifiers of the Emilia-Romagna Open in singles, but failed to advance to the main draw.[9]

In July, she made her WTA main draw debut after qualifying for the Ladies Open Lausanne, where she also reached her first WTA quarterfinal.[10] The following week, she reached her second WTA quarterfinal at the Internazionali Femminili di Palermo with wins over Viktoriya Tomova and Grace Min.[11]

In August, Bronzetti entered the qualifiers for the US Open, but failed to advance past the first round.[12][13] The following month, she reached the second round of the Karlsruhe Open.[14] She qualified for the Zavarovalnica Sava Portorož and reached the quarterfinals with wins over Rebecca Peterson and Bernarda Pera.[15]

2022: Grand Slam and WTA 1000 debuts, maiden WTA Tour final, top 100[edit]

Bronzetti qualified for her first Grand Slam at the 2022 Australian Open after defeating Amandine Hesse, Valeria Savinykh, and Nao Hibino in qualifying.[16] She defeated Varvara Gracheva in the first round before losing to world No. 1 and eventual champion Ashleigh Barty in the second.[17][18]

In March, she failed to qualify at Indian Wells, but made her WTA 1000 main draw debut as a lucky loser in Miami.[19] She reached the fourth round with wins over Ajla Tomljanović and Stefanie Vögele and a walkover from Anna Kalinskaya, before losing to wild card Daria Saville.[20][21] Following the tournament, she entered the Top 100.[22]

She made her main draw debut as a wild card at the Italian Open, but lost in the first round to Camila Osorio.[23][24] She reached her first WTA semifinal at the Morocco Open with wins over Anna Kalinskaya, Clara Burel, and Nuria Párrizas Díaz, before losing to compatriot and eventual champion Martina Trevisan.[25] She entered the main draws of both the French Open and Wimbledon, but failed to progress past the first round in both.[26][27]

Bronzetti reached her first WTA final in Palermo with wins over Wang Xiyu, Elina Avanesyan, Caroline Garcia, and Jasmine Paolini, before losing to Irina-Camelia Begu.[28][29] The following month, she reached the Vancouver Open final, but lost to qualifier Valentini Grammatikopoulou.[30]

2023: Top 50 debut, maiden WTA Tour title[edit]

Following the inaugural United Cup, Bronzetti reached a career-high ranking of No. 50 on 9 January 2023.[31] However, had failed to record a win at the WTA level in 2023 until the Morocco Open in May. Ranked No. 102, she won her first WTA Tour title in Morocco with wins over Rebecca Peterson, eighth seed Tatjana Maria, fourth seed Alycia Parks, second seed Sloane Stephens, and Julia Grabher in the final.[32][33]

The following month, she reached her third career final and first on grass at the Bad Homburg Open with victories over Julia Grabher, Mayar Sherif, and Varvara Gracheva, and the withdrawal of world No. 1, Iga Swiatek, in the semifinal.[34] Bronzetti ultimately lost to Kateřina Siniaková in the final,[35] but reached a career-high ranking of No. 47 on 3 July 2023.[36]

In August, Bronzetti reached the third round of the US Open, defeating 12th seed Barbora Krejčíková and Eva Lys, before losing to Zheng Qinwen.[37][38] During the remainder of the season, she reached three quarterfinals at the WTA 250 level: the Guangzhou Open,[39] the Ningbo Open,[40] and the Monastir Open.[41]
