Camila Osorio starts her title defense at the WTA 250 in Bogotá this Tuesday

The debut of the Colombian tennis player Camila Osorio at the WTA 250 in Bogotá, the current champion, will be this Tuesday, April 5 at 12:30 p.m.; this was confirmed by the organization of the most traditional tournament in Latin America. The defending champion and current No. 33 in the WTA ranking will face the Swiss Ylena In-Albon, this being the first match between the two.

Tuesday will also mark the premiere of Colombia's Yuliana Monroy and Yuliana Lizarazo; Monroy will face Switzerland's Ekaterine Gorgodze, and Lizarazo will rival Slovakia's sixth-seeded Anna Karolina Schmiedlova. The organization has not yet confirmed the schedule of these matches.

Camila Osorio arrives in Bogotá after reaching the WTA 250 Guadalajara quarterfinals and the WTA 250 Monterrey final, both on Mexican soil; after that she played WTA 1.000 Indian Wells. Physical inconveniences made him give up playing WTA 1000 Miami, with the firm intention of recovering and being from the match in the Bogotá tournament based on the brick dust courts of the Bogotá Country Club.

The tennis player was very happy to return to play a 250 open in Colombia and hopes to have the support of the fans who saw her celebrate the title a year ago against Slovenia's Tamara Zidanšek. These were Osorio's words from his social networks to confirm his participation in the Bogotá tennis open this year:

In the framework of the first day of the main draw of the Colsanitas Cup, Camila Osorio, who made her debut in the doubles competition alongside Brazilian Beatriz Haddad-Maia, was in charge of putting it to an end. The South Americans scored an important victory after beating 7-6 (2), 2-6 and 10-1 the duo of France's Elixane Lechemia and American defending champions Ingrid Neel.

In search of the semifinals, the Colombian-Brazilian pair will face Greek Valentini Grammatikopoulo and Russia's Amina Anshba in a match to take place on Wednesday or Thursday. The one born in Cucuta was not the only host to win this day, as the couple of María Fernanda Herazo and Yuliana Lizarazo beat Hungarians Panna Udvardy and Jani Reka-Luca 1-6, 6-2 and 11-9.

After 22 years, two teams in which Colombian players appear are in the quarterfinals of the doubles tournament, because in 2000 Fabiola Zuluaga, Mariana Mesa and Giana Gutiérrez succeeded. On that occasion, Zuluaga and Mesa were teammates; while Gutiérrez had as running mate Dutch Seda Noorlander
