The blue continues its march in the French tournament. Now he will find Etcheverry
Luciano Darderi enters the semifinal of the ATP 250 in Lyon without playing. The blue takes advantage of Arthur Rinderknech’s withdrawal, who withdraws from the tournament and allows Darderi to reach the Final Four, where he will face the Argentine Etcheverry, seeded number 6 who has just beaten the German Koepfer. This is the third ATP semi-final of 2024 for a wild Darderi, who would be in his fifth also considering the Challengers. Darderi also enters the top 40: an amazing result for a player who wasn’t even in the top 100 a few months ago.

Darderi has already won a 250, the one that launched him into the stratosphere. After the success in Cordoba over the Argentine Facundo Bagnis, Luciano never stopped. Excellent performances in the Masters 1000, the last one in Rome where he lost to Zverev (later winner of the tournament) in the third round. And not only that, given that Darderi also achieved a semi-final in Houston, eliminating Cerundolo and losing only to Frances Tiafoe, a player in crisis who nevertheless remains among the best in the world. Now the opportunity of Lyon, where in the first two rounds he had won and convinced against the Japanese Daniel and the French Mannarino. There are no more limits and Darderi, especially on clay, can aim for something huge. From the beginning of February to the end of May: 4 full months to change your career and become a top player. The impression is that the best is yet to come. We all hope so, in the meantime we have to beat Etcheverry.
