The Argentine tennis players experienced a more than negative Friday day in the challengers, since the three national rackets that were still in competition they ended up falling in their respective tournaments. In total there were three defeats, two in Italy and one in Portugal.
The first of them was Romanian Burruchaga (149°), which he fell to local Jaime Faria (233rd) 6-4, 6-7 (5) and 6-1 after two and a half hours in the semifinal of the Oeiras challenger. The man from Buenos Aires, who had just advanced after the abandonment of his rival Joris De Loore in the quarterfinals, could not continue on the path of victory despite his efforts to advance the match. (an ace, 4/9 break points and a tie break won were not enough to take the victory).
Coria fell to Lorenzo Sonego in Turin.
Meanwhile, in the round of 16 of the Turin challenger, there were two who said goodbye. First he touched Federico Coria (74°)who lost 3-6, 6-4 and 6-4 with the Italian Lorenzo Sonego (47th) in 2h26m. The player from Rosario, who had just eliminated the Austrian Jurij Rodionov, recorded an ace, a double fault and 6/18 break points in his attempt to qualify for the quarterfinals.
Later it was the turn of Mariano Navone (31°)what he lost to the American Brandon Nakashima (72nd) 4-6, 6-3 and 6-1 after battling for 2h27m. Although he won the first set, the Argentine could not maintain the level throughout the match. There were five double faults, one ace and 2/12 break points for the number 31 in the ranking, which registered its second consecutive fall (he lost last Friday in Rome to Luciano Darderi).
Navone couldn’t beat Nakashima and said goodbye in Turin.
