Tennis: Musetti defeated in the final, Navone wins in Cagliari

ROME, 05 MAY – Musetti defeated in the final in two sets in the Challenger 175 in Cagliari by the Argentine Navone. A bad day for the blue, never really got into the game: 5-7, 1-6 the score. There was only a game in the first half, then the collapse of Carrarino, nervous and fouling. The South American number 41 in the world and third seeding force did well. In the first set there were many difficulties for the blue player who, when he looked for shots from him, didn’t always find them. The service factor doesn’t count in the first three games: Musetti starts the match with an unpromising double fault. He moves forward by dint of breaks and counterbreaks. Except that Navone finally “conquers” his serve and tries to extend it: 3-1. Then the blue also starts to recover his serve. And he remains in the wake. Until the five-all break. The problem is Navone’s usual counterbreak. However, he then holds serve and wins the first set: 7-5. In the second half Musetti starts again with many errors: he struggles to find tactical solutions to put his opponent in difficulty and the 2-1 break for the Argentine is the inevitable consequence. From there to the abyss it’s a short step: the second lost serve in a row means 4-1 for Navone. Then there is only Navone: the Argentine is the new king of the Sardinia Open in Cagliari. (HANDLE).
