The resistance of the Spanish Albert Ramos propelled him to victory over the Italian Lorenzo Musettirecent champion in Naples, by 1-6, 6-3 and 6-4, and in the second round of the ATP indoor hard court tournament in Basel.
Ramos did not waver despite the fact that his rival was only two games away from winning. The Spanish won after two hours and a quarter of the game. In the third set, the transalpine player was 4-1, but the 34-year-old tennis player from Barcelona kept his spirit and scored five consecutive games to complete the victory.
The 20-year-old tennis player from Carrara won the trophy in Naples on Sunday, the second in his history with Hamburg this year. He comes to Basel with four consecutive wins and a previous victory against the Spaniard this year, in Marrakech.
Ramos, ranked 40th and the 2022 champion in Córdoba, his fourth ATP victory, turned the match around after a bad start and won the second set. But in the third game he was again subdued by transalpine, who accelerated from the third game and took a 4-1 lead.
Albert Ramos was confident and gradually wore down his rival until he turned the situation around and closed out the victory. The Spaniard will face the Kazakh in the second round Alexander Bublik.
19-year-old Dane also thrived in the picture Holger Rune, who defeated Australian Alex de Miñaur, seventh seed, 6-2, 7-5. Rune, who on Sunday won the second title of his career in Stockholm after one in Munich, also achieved this year, adding his sixth straight victory over the ocean.
The Dane, one of the players with the most future in tennis, took an hour and a half to close out the match against De Miñaur. In the second round he will face Frenchman Ugo Humbert, who ousted American Jenson Brooksby 6-1, 6-4. Who wins will be measured in the quarterfinals against the winner of the duel between Alex Molcan and the French Arthur Rinderknech.
On this day of the Basel tournament, the three winners of last week’s men’s circuit tournament will go together. In addition to Musetti in Naples and Rune in Stockholm, the Canadian Felix Auger Aliassime entered the session, which managed to win in Antwerp on Sunday. Toni Nadal’s student faces the Swiss Marc Andrea Huesler.
