However, the unfortunate moment continues Flavio Cobolliwho after having drawn the host Jan-Lennard Struff in the first round in Stuttgart, had his lot in Halle the Pole n.9 in the ranking Hubert Hurkacz. Another one has arrived for the Italian defeat on debutalso completed in two sets, and ended with a score of 75 76(2).
Unlike what happened on German soil, the Italian, despite being up against a lesser opponent, he hasn’t given up on exploring his potential to the full forcing Hurkacz to two very tight sets and also managing to cancel two match points during the twelfth game of the second set.
The Pole, who last year was the leader of the circuit for the number of aces scored, also found his best ally in the service against Cobolli, scoring 19 aces and extracting 80% of points from his first of service. A fundamental, the serve, which on the grass prevented Cobolli from testing his rival’s resistance in the exchange but which, despite the initial handicap, did not prevent him from finding often effective solutions thanks to which he managed to postpone the epilogue of a match that instead of being handed to him, Hurkacz instead had to sweat to make his own. You write defeat, you read experience.
