Spain began the qualifying of the Federation Cup against Japan with a surprising victory of the number two of the team, Sara Sorribes, over the first Japanese player, Naomi Osaka , and did it 6-0 and 6-3 in just one hour and 13 minutes of a match in which Castellón only gave up three games against the tenth of the WTA classification.

The meeting already had a very promising start for Spain, as Sorribes broke Osaka's serve and made it blank. He then won his service to put the 2-0 on the scoreboard of the La Manga Club Tennis Center.

The streak of Sorribes, who dominated the game with his backhand cut, lengthened with another break in service and again without his opponent being able to score a single point. The solidity of the Spanish and the constant errors of the Japanese stretched the score to 4-0 and, with Osaka again to serve, Sorribes showed his solvency in a game in which his rival got his first point in service in this first set , which finished the Spanish with 6-0 in just 27 minutes.

The second part, as expected, began as something else. Osaka began to teach his tennis, but Sorribes did not get intimidated and this resulted in a game full of alternatives and went from 0-2 to 2-2 and 2-3 to 4-3 with another break from the blank kick of that of La Vall d'Uixó, who kept his serve for 5-3 and pressed Osaka, who looked against the ropes and even cried helplessly.

It was not surprising, therefore, that he closed the clash with a double foul after 46 minutes of play in this part for the joy of Sorribes and the majority of the thousand spectators present in the Cartagena deputation of Los Belones.

Sara Sorribes, 23 years old and 78 in the world, passed over an adversary a year less and that did not demonstrate that condition that gives ranking to a double winner of Grand Slam and who led the tennis a little over a year ago world.
