Argentine Camilo Ugo Carabelli’s Amazing Win and Point at Challenger in Cagliari

The point that Argentine Camilo Ugo Carabelli won sitting

Argentine tennis is experiencing hours of excitement due to Francisco Cerundolo’s performance at the Madrid Masters 1000, but the performances of national athletes also stand out in other tournaments of different caliber. In the last few hours, what Camilo Ugo Carabelli did in the Challenger in Cagliari went viral.

The 24-year-old player, ranked 107th in the ATP ranking, began his path in the Sardegna Open with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over the Japanese Taro Daniel, but beyond the final result what stood out was a point that won from the floor. After taking the first set, the South American was 1-1 and 15-0 down on the Asian’s serve.

When the current 85th in the ranking, which became 58th in the world at the beginning of 2024, started a new service, he made a hit to the center of the field that resulted in a slip by Carabelli. Taro Daniel’s backhand found the Argentine on the floor, but far from surrendering, he returned the ball from there: the Japanese’s immediate response ended in the net.

“Whoops. When you fall, always get up,” wrote the official account of the Challenger circuit about that ball. The most striking thing is that this situation led to the break of the serve, since Camilo took the game after 30-40. It is true that, in any case, it was a strange start to the set since both gave up serve twice in a row. Then they reached 4-4, which ended up tipping the balance of the match for the Argentine when he broke to go 5-4 and defended his serve in the next game to take the match.

The albiceleste is the tenth best racket in the country in the ATP count behind Sebastián Báez (19°), Cerúndolo (22°), Tomás Martín Etcheverry (27°), Mariano Navone (41°), Facundo Díaz Acosta (47° °), Federico Coria (83°), Pedro Cachin (91°), Francisco Comesaña (96°) and Thiago Tirante (104°).

The Italian challenger will have him in the second round against the local Luciano Darderi (60th), although there are also other Argentines already in the second round: Federico Coria will go against the North American Frances Tiafoe (first seed), Navone will clash against the Japanese arrived from the qualy Shintaro Mochizuki and Juan Manuel Cerúndolo against the local Lorenzo Musetti. It should be noted that Tirante lost in the premiere against the aforementioned Darderi.

Tirante, who had his best ranking of 96th place in August 2022, won six Challenger titles in his career, two of them this year in Piracicaba and Santa Cruz.

It must be remembered that there are also other national representatives in the French Challenger of Aix-en-Provence, a tournament that Diego Schwartzman won in 2014: Facundo Bagnis will play the second round against Alexander Shevchenko, Comesaña will clash against Brandon Nakashima and Etcheverry with Arthur Rinderknech .
