marco bianchi taught sofia rossi everything, except how to lose to him
Somewhere, a junior coaching certificate is quietly bursting into flames. Marco Bianchi, the man who once taught Sofia Rossi how to hold a racket, watched his former pupil beat him 7-5, 6-4. Marco kept it close just long enough to fake dignity, then cracked whenever a big point showed up. Sofia now leads their head-to-head 3-0. At this point the student isn't just surpassing the master; she's charging him for lessons.
Sofia climbs to 15 points in fourth, chasing Emma Lindqvist (17) for a revenge shot after losing to her earlier this season. Leader Lukas Horvat (19) also owes her one. Maya Chen (14) is breathing down her neck, and their first meeting of the season looms. Marco stays tenth on 9 points, probably reviewing his old lesson plans.
