The champion of the Masters 1000 ATP in Rome, the Russian Daniel Medvedevheld the blow made by the finalist, a Holger Rune which continues its free fall on the circuit for another week.
If not Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, the heavyweight is Medvedev, defending his crown on the clay of the Foro Italico. He has never revalidated success from one season to the next, his twenty ATP victories have been in different places. A rare bird, the Muscovite is unique to everyone.
But it’s also a tough nut to crack under any circumstances. He had a bad time, but he made it to the round of 16, beating a young 20-year-old Serbian, from the generation of Alcaraz, Rune and Nardi, who hit 41 winners and committed 66 unforced errors. He fell just short in the final game, when he had a shot at forcing a tiebreak but a string of mistakes served as his sentence.
Medvedev, No. 4, won 7-6 (5), 2-6 and 7-5 in 2h.50′. SA Hamad Medjekovic, no. 121 and from the previous episode. A student of Victor Troickiformer professional and great friend of Novak Djokovic.
The American is waiting for the Muscovite Tommy Paul who eliminated German Dominik Koefper 6-4 and 6-3.
A disappointing Rune went home, however he succumbed to a clay specialist, the Argentine. Sebastian Baez, by 2-6, 6-2 and 6-3. The Dane continues the crisis.
