The best ranked -23 in the world- among the six Russian players who entered the main draw of the tournament was broken by a point-to-point match against Sorribes, who will now seek another step, the semifinals, including the winner in the confrontation between American Jessica Pegula and Canadian Bianca Andreescu. At first he had a favorable 2-0 balance; in the second, not in favor of 0-1.
Nine service breaks in the first set speak to the ups and downs experienced by the two players in the opening stage. Sorribes had better come out, armed behind the track and letting his rival take a chance.
Kasatkina took a step forward and tried to lead the game in the second set from midcourt, to attack with more bites.
Although Sorribes reached it all and the Russian took three, four and even five corner shots to beat it, Kasatkina finished his game and got the second set by a deceptive 6-1, more fair. than the indicated mark.
Confusion reigned again in the final set, with four breaks in the first five games. Sorribes signed three of them and led 4-1. From that moment on, he turned to stone: his rival could not find a way to regain the lost ground and he had to bow his head at world number 47.
Each of them has had success in their two previous encounters, though both in the distant 2015.
This is Sorribes ’sixth presence in Madrid and the round of 32 is his best role so far. He has already surpassed him in reaching the round of 16 and now he has improved himself on his passage to the quarterfinals.
