Proud Peruvian
Francesca Maguiña Bunikowska, a Peruvian tennis player, won the "Cóndor de Plata" Championship of the South American Tennis Confederation (COSAT), held in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
Our 14-year-old representative reached the final by defeating Brazilian Luana Paiva in two sets, with scores of 6-2 and 6-4.
Francesca proudly raised our flag on the podium, competing against 60 participants from eight countries of the COSAT. Despite being younger than the other participants, she showed professionalism and skill in each phase of the tournament.
It's worth mentioning that the "Cóndor de Plata" tennis tournament in Cochabamba (Sub-14 and Sub-16) and La Paz (Sub-18) featured the participation of 311 athletes from different countries around the world, who aimed to earn points for the Cosat Tour and the ITF Junior ranking.
