Falling from Christopher Eubanks at the Masters 1000 in Rome, Terence Atmane claimed his first victory on clay in the ATP circuit.
The Masters 1000 in Rome began this Wednesday for the men’s draw. However, Terence Atmane has been whipping on Italian clay for two days already. In qualifying, the Frenchman successively got the better of the Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis then his compatriot Harold Mayot to win the right to compete against Christopher Eubanks. Facing the American, Terence Atmane continued his momentum. Solid in service, he tried to maintain his play and in return steal that of his rival once in each set. After 1h23, Terence Atmane won 6-4, 6-4.
The Habs offered themselves the 43rd player in the world and his very first victory on clay in the ATP circuit. In the second round, he will cross paths with the local, Lorenzo Musetti, seeded No. 26. Also involved at the same time, Arthur Rinderknech pocketed the first set against the Italian Francesco Passaro (7-6(3)). Then leading 5-2 in the second act, the native of Gassin trembled as he finished. He was broken twice and suffered a scathing 0-4 from the locals. He was leading 6-5 when the rain interrupted the proceedings. The meeting will resume this Thursday while that of Corentin Moutet against the Russian Roman Safiullin, initially scheduled for 7 p.m., was postponed to noon this Thursday.
