A hard-earned victory, built with patience and therefore even more beautiful. At the “Roma Garden Open”, Challenger 75 with a prize pool of 74,825 euros on the red clay courts of the Capitoline club broadcast exclusively on SuperTennis, Stefano Travaglia beat his compatriot Francesco Maestrelli after more than two and a half hours of match, prevailing in two sets with a score of 76(9) 75.
A match in which there was everything, starting from a first set that lasted almost 90 minutes and ended with a tie-break in which both contenders wasted two set points before dismissing it after playing twenty points. Travaglia had started well, immediately taking the lead by a break, but credit goes to Maestrelli for not giving up and holding on to the score: first canceling two set points from the Marche player and then breaking the serve himself and making it 5-5.
“A very hard-fought first set, we both could have won all the points, but the second set was also difficult even if it was shorter. Canas? I don’t know him very well, but I saw that he did well in Monaco, I’ve never played against him , it will be a game to play and I will prepare it like the others”Travaglia declared immediately to SuperTennis.
