This week, the tennis players will head into the qualifying phase looking for the long-awaited ticket to the main draw of the prestigious tournament on grass. The Argentine representatives already know who their rivals will be in the first instance.
Marco Trungelliticolloquially nicknamed on social networks as “The Qualy Man” thanks to his performances in previous phases of Majors tournaments (he surpassed that instance eight times, reaching the second round on various occasions at the Australian Open, Roland Garros and US open), will debut in this edition with a rival of caliber: Taro Daniel. The Japanese appears in the draw as the fourth seed and, despite the fact that this year he is not having the best results, the quarterfinals in the Acapulco 500 resonate as a weight mark among the rivals of the qualy.
