In 1935 she reached the quarterfinal of the mixed doubles event with Don Turnbull which they lost to the first-seeded pair Hilde Spehrling and Gottfried Von Cramm. In 1930 she played against Phyllis Satterthwaite in the final of the Bordighera tournament on the Italian Riviera. Satterthwaite was a baseline player with a game based on safety and keeping the ball in play. At match point her determination not to make an error resulted in a rally which lasted 450 strokes. Satterthwaite won the point and the match. At the French Championships she reached the quarterfinal in 1931 and 1934. In 1935 she lost the quarterfinal in straight sets to Cilly Aussem who would proceed to win the championship and in 1934 Simonne Mathieu proved too strong for her. In 1931 she won the singles title at the Italian Championships in Milan after winning the final against Dorothy Andrus Burke in three sets. That year she also won the mixed doubles title with G.P. Hughes.〔 Additionally she was a runner-up at the inaugural 1930 championships as well as the 1932, 1934 and 1935 editions. She was part of the Italian team that toured India in 1932 and during that trip won the singles title at the East and West of India Championships.〔 ==Tournament finals== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucia Valerio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
