Winner of the Italian Raul Brancaccio in the first round of the Challenger tournament in Naples, Pierre-Hugues Herbert disgusted his opponent this Monday. Not so much on the scoreboard since the Frenchman, 160th in the world, won in three sets (3-6, 7-5, 6-0) after losing the first. It was also when he was put in difficulty that Herbert distinguished himself on clay.
He in fact dismissed no less than 7 match points in the second set before turning the tide, eventually winning. To do this, the 33-year-old Frenchman pulled out all the stops, delivering magnificent points, between wooden smashes, sublime drop shots and defenses from elsewhere. With spoon service as a bonus.
