the Austrian Dominic Thiemthe former world number 3 who occupies the 112th position in the ATP ranking, defeated the Argentine on Monday Facundo Bagnis in the contest of Umag (Croatia) on clay, by 6-4 and 7-5, in two hours and four minutes and will meet Thursday in the round of 16 against Czech Jiri Lehecka, the first favorite.
Two breaks, one in each set, was enough for the world number three to seal victory in the second match between the two, as they met in 2020 in Salzburg with a victory for the Argentine. In the first sleeve he achieved a break in the eleventh game and in the second in the penultimate.
Bagnis, 33 years old and number 133 on the circuit, had six opportunities to seize his rival’s serve, but he was unable to capitalize on any, while Thiem succeeded in two of the seven opportunities he had, allowing him to continue ahead in the contest.
