Us Open: Carrarino defeated and in physical difficulty. Luciano and Flavio win in a comeback
Lorenzo Musetti is the latest victim of the crazy rhythms of today’s tennis. In New York, in the match against the Australian Sweeny, Carrarino felt dizzy and unwell and finally gave up after four sets. Not even two medical times served to get him back on his feet in this season which has been cursed for him and heavily conditioned by the injury that knocked him out for several months. Thus the possible derby with is skipped Luciano Darderi in the third round. The match against Svrcina was full of errors on both sides, but Darderi had the merit of maintaining clarity and playing the important points of the match better than his opponent. Thus came the victory in four sets with a good comeback in the last match when Darderi found himself down 3-1 and on his serve he went 0-30, then saving the game until coming back and closing 6-4.
Cobolli on the comeback
For Flavio Cobolli against the Australian Schoolkate the usual match of suffering, determination and in the end comeback after losing the first set. On paper the opponent wasn’t dangerous (180th in the world) but in the first set the Australian served in an incredible way and Cobolli seemed a little surprised. Then Flavio took control of the match again thanks to his character and personality, he started to serve better and even put on a show with a winning lob shot with the racket between his legs. A point that drove the Flushing Meadows crowd crazy and exalted the Roman who will now face the Belgian Blockx. Flavio Cobolli he spoke at a press conference immediately after the victory which guaranteed him access to the third round of the New York Slam. “He’s a qualifier, and getting through the qualifiers in a Slam today is really very difficult. He played excellent matches and even got through a round in the main draw, so he entered the field loose and with little to lose. I think I played a good first set: I just gave up the serve a little naively, but he played better than me. However, I am happy with the reaction. I had to invent something: the ball arrived very fast and I wasn’t prepared. I thought it was the right opportunity to look for a winner with the tweenerI tried it and it worked out well. In the game I won’t have attempted it more than a couple of times; today was the third, and seeing the ball land on the line was really cool. I don’t think I will try it again anytime soon, but I will work on it in training because it can help my tennis.”
