MADRID, 8 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Spanish tennis player Nicola Kuhn made his debut this Friday in the Antalya (Turkey) tournament, ATP 250 category and played on hard court, with a cut comeback against the German Matthias Bachinger, who retired due to physical problems in the third set ( 3-6, 6-3, 4-1).
After missing up to four break opportunities in the third game, the 20-year-old tennis player of Austrian origin and resident of Torrevieja (Alicante), number 253 in the world, gave up his service in the next game, which cost him his sleeve.
However, he started the comeback shortly after with a break in the fourth game that earned him the second set. At 4-1 in the third set after breaking his rival’s serve for the second time, Kuhn confirmed his move to the next round after the German left due to injury.
In this way, the 2016 Roland Garros finalist, who will rise 13 positions in the next ATP ranking, will meet the Belgian David Giffin, who defeated the French Pierre-Hugues Herbert (3-6, 7-5, 6-0) , in the second round.
