Comesaña, without problems heading to the quarterfinals
The day opened in Bolivia with the presence of Francisco Comesaña, facing the Brazilian Gustavo Heide. An important match for the development of the team in this lower part, because a victory for Comesaña assured a finalist for Argentina for the tournament. The tennis player from Mar del Plata came out with everything at the beginning of the match, going up a break before the first break. Little by little he would establish himself in the match, but it was difficult for him to generate danger against a Fran who was very comfortable with his service. Precisely carrying forward that initial difference, The Argentine took the first set 6-3.
The second set was more even, because neither of the two players seemed to give in with their service turns. As the numbers grew, so did the tension in the match. Taking advantage of having more experience, the one from Mar del Plata would break his rival’s service in the eleventh game to give himself the chance to close it with his own hands. Finally, Comesaña sentenced him with that defining 7-5.
Mena can handle Ugo Carabelli’s resistance
This match had the participation of two Argentine tennis players such as Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Facundo Mena, both far from their best level, although having surpassed their respective debuts in straight sets. The first set would have a fairly even level, with extensive points and good exchanges from the back of the court, without differences being made. Everything seemed headed for a tiebreak, but Mena made use of his experience to break at the right moment and take the first set 6-4.
After that great boost from having won the first, Mena would come out better in the second and thus sign a quick break to take an early lead. Camilo was going to put up a fight, recovering from the break to try to dream of a comeback. In fact, Ugo Carabelli himself would have a 15-40 in 4-4 to try to turn the score around. However, once again the most veteran of the Argentines would take it forward, and then put pressure on the return. In a sequence almost identical to the previous set, and with Camilo looking to reach the tiebreaker, Facundo achieved the break to score the final 7-5.
