Jérémy Chardy released by Lorenzo Sonego in Rome

There was no miracle on the Central of Foro Italico: for only his third tournament of the season, Jérémy Chardy lost sharply 6-2, 6-1, in 1h14, against Lorenzo Sonego (48th in the world ).

591st at ATP, but benefiting from a protected ranking (88th), the Frenchman (36) did not get the slightest opportunity throughout the match, even having to dismiss a break point from his first service game . Too irregular (21 unforced errors), Chardy paid cash for the lack of efficiency of his commitment: seven double faults and only 29% of points won on his second ball.
