Garcia Troubled by Bogdan
Following a first round bye, Garcia was made to work hard for her win in the second round by Anna Bogdan.
Garcia squeaked past Bogdan 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in a match lasting two hours and 27 minutes to make it to the third round for only the second time in her Italian Open presence.
In a match filled with 11 breaks of serves, Garcia went ahead early and while she was broken in the eighth game of the opening set, she found a way to win the next two games to claim the set.
She broke again in the first game of the second set but Bogdan reclaimed that and broke yet again to surprise Garcia with the equaliser.
In the final set, it was Garcia who fell a break behind on two separate occasions. She broke right back on the first but the second one saw Bogdan serve for the match. Garcia broke and then again in the 12th game to win it off her second match-point.
The Frenchwoman will need to improve by leaps and bounds if she wants to go deeper into the competition.

Osorio Has No Trouble against Martic
After scraping through a three-setter against Varvara Gracheva, Osorio did not face a lot of trouble in getting past Petra Martic in the second round of the competition.
Osorio was on court for a mere hour and 16 minutes as she demolished Martic 6-4, 6-2 to move into the third round. This follows her second round exit at this tournament last season, which was the first time she was playing here.
While she hasn’t played a lot of tournaments this season, Osorio looks to have done well when she has got a chance. Sure there have been a couple of first round ousters too but a semifinal appearance at the Lyon Open and a third round showing in Madrid will go a long way in giving Osorio a lot of confidence.
The big news is that Osorio loves playing on court unlike her opponent and if Garcia lets up even a little, the Colombian player might have a very good chance of making it through.
