Even though this is a WTA tournament, a part of the lot reminds us of the ITF level. Svitolina is the only Top 50 player in Bogota. Puig saw her chance. She's the second seed, and came to Bogota ten days early. That's crucial because they're playing at 2500 m altitude, and adjustment is the most important. Puig has the Top 30 potential, no doubt about it, and she came here with a plan. She clearly stated she's aiming for the title before the tournament. She's got a special motive because she's the best ranked player from the South America here, and she justified her words in the first lot. She played clever given the conditions here. Controlled aggressiveness and a positive attitude.I have to say I'm sold on that. Gibbs is a good lot. Puig had lots of tight defeats lately. She beat Gibbs in those last few tournaments. The difference was five games in the end, she won four games in a row at the end of the first set, and turned 4-1 around in the second. So, she had to struggle to get through, and she covered the handicap. Her last year's win in Mexico was cleaner, though. Gibbs had four defeats in a row before this tournament, and she lost convincingly. She should have been better against Zhang because Zhang lost after leading 5-1 in the second set. Gibbs beat Rodionova here, and that was Rodionova's first match in the main lot this entire season. I think everything's clear here. We have a bet on a better player who came her with ambitions. She had special preparation in Bogota, and left a great impression in the first round. It'll only boost her self-confidence more, and she covered this handicap against Gibbs both times, one of which recently in a match where she had to turn both sets around to win.
