The Chilean Cristian Garin, number 20 of the ATP, said goodbye this Tuesday to the Masters 1.000 de Cincinnati, when falling in the first round against the American Tommy Paul (56°).
After two hours and 24 minutes of the game, the national racket succumbed in three sets, by partial from 6-4, 3-6 and 4-6.
As happened in his participation in the Toronto tournament last week, the Arican was firm in the first round, even getting up from a 0-3 against to get to take the advantage in the match.
However, doubts took hold of the “Tank” game, which maintains its poor first serve consistency (only 59 percent) and it cost him to close some points attacking the network. Thus, in the second episode he gave up his serve in the sixth game and let three break points escape, which allowed the North American to equalize the duel.
Already in the third and final set, the Creole held his serve and broke the next game, but then consecutively yielded his service andAlthough he recovered it to be 4-4, he lost it again and the result was ruled in favor of Paul.
In this way, Garin says goodbye to Cincinnati and still cannot win in cement this 2021, adding more doubts than good feelings for the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season and that he will face in two weeks.
