Argentine tennis continues to present joys. Not only are there victories on the main circuit, but the celebrations are extended to almost all steps of the racket sport pyramid. After what was Obtaining No. 1 in doubles by Horacio Zeballosnow those who will seek to give a title to the country will be two other representatives who are leaving the national flag high.
Navone, unstoppable: to the final in Cagliari
There is little doubt that Mariano Navone (41st) takes the award for breakthrough of the year. The time segmentation could even be limited from the ATP 500 in Rio de Janeiro (February 25) to the present. La Nave, at the best moment of its career, took the leap and achieved exponential growth in just two months. This Saturday he beat Luciano Darderi (60th), another great performance – title in Córdoba -, 6-3 and 7-5 in 1h48m and advanced to the last match of the week in the challenger 175 from Cagliari.
Mariano Navone went to the final of the Cagliari challenger.
Solid from the back of the court and with very few fluctuations in his game, the Buenos Aires native from 9 de Julio makes the difference with his backhand and hits it harder and harder with his forehand. Furthermore, the faster the ball reaches him from the other side of the net, the greater the acceleration of his shots. Incisive from the return (statistically he is the best returner of the entire tour), He got five breaks throughout the match and he knew how to stop the blows of the man born in Villa Gesell but who represents Italy.
The final will be played this Sunday, from 12:30 (Challenger TV), against the first seed and people’s favorite, Lorenzo Musetti (29th). So far, there are no previous duels between the two.
Riera is also in a great moment
Julia Riera (94th) is living an unbeatable present. With a 17-3 record on the current clay court tour, the player from Pergamin beat the Latvian Darja Semenistaja (113th) 6-2, 4-6 and 6-4 in 2h05m and advanced to the definition of the W100 from Wiesbaden, Germany. There, he will try to win a new title in his career, although it will not be easy given that he will face the local Jule Niemeier (111th). The match will be played at 8 and can be seen on the ITF streaming signal.
With this victory, Riera ensures that he maintains his status as a top 100 player, since it was a week in which he defended a good amount of points. For now, she appears 99th in the live rankings and if she wins the cup she would rise to 94th place.
