En plein Italian on the second day dedicated to the matches of the men’s draw of the Roland Garros 2024 qualifiers. The victories of Andrea Pellegrino, Francesco Maestrelli and of Andrea Vavassori. A three out of three in the second round of the cadet draw, enough to bring a smile.
Pellegrino won at the end of a hard-fought match against the American Maxime Cressy (n.176 in the ranking) with a score of 7-6 (4) 4-6 7-6 (11). The number 160 in the ranking will face the Frenchman in the next match Gregoire Barrere (no. 10 in the qualifying seeding) and will not be an easy opponent.
Maestrelli is also very good (n.206 ATP), scored against the Swiss Marc-Andrea Huesler (world no.196). A comeback victory for the Tuscan, opposed to the insidious Swiss left-handed, on the score of 6-7 (2) 6-2 6-4. Our standard bearer will play against the Spanish terraiolo Bernabe Zapata Miralles (n.203 in the ranking) and a consistent performance will be needed to continue the adventure.
Vavassori’s victory again in three sets (n.170 in the world), who is trying to get back into the main draw of the Parisian Slam after having already been there in doubles with Simone Bolelli. The Piedmontese won with a score of 6-3 4-6 6-3 against the Spanish southpaw Albert Ramos-Vinolas (n.111 ATP) and will face the Lebanese Benjamin Hassan (n.149 ATP).
