Thanks to the resignation of Slovenian tennis player Aljaz Bedene, Argentine Sebastián Báez, 20 years old and number 164 in the world, agreed as lucky loser to the main draw of the ATP 500 in Hamburg, a tournament played on brick dust and which distributes 1,030,900 euros in prizes.
The porteño, a pupil of Sebastián Gutiérrez, received this Sunday a wink from fate, because, despite the defeat 2-6, 6-3 and 6-7 (0) against the Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas, in the match corresponding to the last qualifying stage and in which he had two match points in his favor, he will play his second main draw on the circuit (R1 in Santiago 2021).
This Monday’s rival will be the French Corentit Moutet, 22 years old and 89th racket on the planet, whom he will face from 9.00 ARG, 8.00 CHI and 7.00 COL / PER / MEX and will be broadcast on ESPN2.
The other matches of the day will be between Jaume Munar and Philipp Kohlschreiber (10.30 ARG, 9.30 CHI and 8.30 COL / PER / MEX) and Benoit Paire and Ricardas Berankis (13.30 ARG, 12.30 CHI and 11.30 COL / PER / MEX), both tuned by the same channel as the South American.
The top eight seeded players in the German competition are: the Greek and guest Stefanos Tsitsipas (4th), the Spanish Pablo Carreño Busta (13th) and Albert Ramos Viñolas (39th), the Georgian Nikoloz Basilasvhili (28th), the Serbs Dusan Lajovic (42nd) and Filip Krajinovic (44th), the German Jan-Lennard Struff (45º) and the French Paire (46º).
