MADRID, 9 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish tennis player Roberto Bautista overcame his debut with conviction in two sets (6-2 and 6-4) against the Argentine Facundo Díaz Acosta in the Monte Carlo Masters 1,000, played on clay, while his compatriot Alejandro Davidovich did not have the same luck and he sank in his debut on the Monegasque clay, also losing in two sets (6-1 and 6-2) against the American Sebastian Korda.
The man from Castellón, who seems to have forgotten the most difficult months due to injuries, confirmed his current good form with this victory, in just over an hour and a half, against the world number 53, the Argentine Díaz Acosta, recovered from the previous .
Bautista, number 90 in the world, converted more than half of the break points he enjoyed (4 of 7) and underpinned his victory with a good performance with his serve, achieving almost 70% of the points with the first serve. . In the initial set, the Spaniard was a cyclone and barely managed two games, while Díaz woke up in the second set, although the Castellón native’s reliability did not fall and he closed the match with a good 6-4.
It is Bautista’s 93rd victory in Masters 1,000, although in Monte Carlo he has only been able to reach the round of 16, so he begins his path in Monaco with confidence. Something that Davidovich could not also celebrate in his debut on the Monegasque clay court, in which he never had any option against Korda, who was a gale.
The Malaga native had a hard time getting into the match, which started with a 5-0 for the American, who got his victory on track without problems, while the Spaniard, who lasted only an hour against Korda, only converted three games in the entire match. Thus, Davidovich’s irregular start to 2024 continues, as he has not won two games in a row since Dubai in February.
For its part, Tuesday’s day also brought the debut of the world number one, the Serbian Novak Djokovic, who had no problems getting rid of the Russian Roman Safiullin, executioner of the Spanish Jaume Munar, in two sets by 6-1, 6- 2 despite having not competed for more than a month after his early elimination in the Masters 1,000 in Indian Wells (United States).
