Bulgarian tennis player Rositsa Dencheva has continued her strong form on clay courts through late August and early September.

Following her success in Kuršumlijska Banja, Serbia, where she secured a doubles title and a singles runner-up finish in mid-August, Dencheva advanced to the singles semifinals of a $40,000 tournament in the same region. She reached this stage by overcoming the top seed, France’s Selena Janicijevic, in a comeback victory, winning 5:7, 6:1, 6:1.

In early September, Dencheva moved to the WTA 125 clay court tournament in Antalya, Turkey. After defeating Latvia’s Adelina Lachinova 6:4, 6:0 in the qualifying bracket, she secured her place in the main draw by defeating local player Ipek Oz with a comeback score of 4:6, 7:5, 6:0. She is scheduled to face Francesca Jones in the second round.

Another Bulgarian player, Elizara Yaneva, also progressed to the second round of the main draw in Antalya. Yaneva defeated Veronika Falkowska 6:1, 1:6, 7:6(4) after saving three match points and overcoming a 2:5 deficit in the deciding third set. Her next opponent will be Zhikbek Kulambayeva.
