ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Winner for Matteo Berrettini in the international circuit. The Roman tennis player, after the forfait at the Australian Open, has come over the season overcoming the first round of the “IEB+ Argentina Open”, Atp 250 tournament (with total prize pool of 675,310 dollars) that is playing on the land of the “Argentine Tennis Cathedral”, the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club, the first stage of the “South American race”. Berrettini, 58 of the world and eighth favorite of seeding, defeated the Argentine public’s beniamino Federico Coria, recently down to step 322 of the international ranking, in the race thanks to a wild card, with a score of 7-5 7-5. The blue will face the Czech Vit Kopriva, number 95 of the world, which in the first round beat the other local wild card Alex Barrena with the score of 6-4 3-6 6-4.
Say hello instead Buenos Aires Francesco Passaro. The perugino, 159 of the world, promoted by the qualification, surrendered in the first round of the main tabellone against Peruvian Ignacio Buse, number 96 of the Atp ranking, with the score of 5-7 7-5 6-4. Great regret for Passaro, who led a set to zero and was ahead 5-1 in the second fraction, in which he also split two matches-points, on the 5-3 in his favor.
