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
Bronzetti was born in Rimini and grew up in Verucchio. She began playing tennis at the age of 10 at the suggestion of her aunt, and took lessons at the Tennis Club Valmarecchia in Pietracuta.
Her training base is in Anzio. She also trains at the Circolo Tennis Viserba.
Professional career
2021: WTA Tour debut and first wins
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. 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. 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.
In July, she made her WTA main draw debut after qualifying for the Ladies Open Lausanne, where she reached also her first WTA quarterfinal. The following week, she reached her second WTA quarterfinal at the Internazionali Femminili di Palermo with wins over Viktoriya Tomova and Grace Min. In September, she qualified for the Zavarovalnica Sava Portorož and reached the quarterfinals with wins over Rebecca Peterson and Bernarda Pera.
2022: Grand Slam, WTA 1000 & top 100 debuts, maiden WTA Tour final
She made her Grand Slam tournament debut at the 2022 Australian Open as a qualifier where she reached second round defeating Varvara Gracheva for her first major match win, before losing to world No. 1, Ashleigh Barty.
Ranked No. 102 at the Miami Open on her debut at the WTA 1000 level, she reached the fourth round as a lucky loser. She lost to Daria Saville in a three hour match, the third-longest women's match of the event. As a result, she made her top 100 debut in the WTA singles rankings at No. 85.
2023: Top 50 debut, WTA Tour title
She made her top 50 debut on 9 January 2023, following the inaugural United Cup where she made her debut as the No. 2 female player and recorded three wins and two losses, helping Italy reach the final.
She played in the main draw of the WTA 1000 in Rome as a direct entry, after the withdrawal of tenth seed Petra Kvitová.
Ranked No. 102, she reached her second WTA Tour final at the Morocco Open in Rabat, with a win over second seed Sloane Stephens in only 61 minutes. She won the title defeating first time finalist Julia Grabher.
She reached her third career final and first on grass at the Bad Homburg Open after the withdrawal of world No. 1, Iga Swiatek, in the semifinal.
