Good morning friends of OA Sport and welcome to the Live Broadcast of the Wimbledon 2024 first round match between Mattia Bellucci e Ben Shelton.
The match looks set to be balanced, even if facing the Italian qualifier is the world number 14 and the same seed at the Championships this year. Grass is not the favorite surface of the young American talent, however it serves as a “weapon” of destruction in no small way. Getting an easy break won’t be, but Bellucci will have the tie-break as the point of arrival, hoping for some missed passes in his rival’s serve. It’s difficult to respond to the first ones at over 220 km/h from Bryan’s son, with the elbow problems (evident at Roland Garros) now resolved. However, the blue player also manages to maximize his tennis on grass, of pressure and made with excellent manual skills, all supported by a service worthy of these levels (second ball included).
Bellucci is experiencing another week of his life, with the First qualification for Wimbledon of the career achieved, which is perhaps even more resonant than the one obtained a month ago in Paris. The Lombard was out, practically eliminated in the 1st round when he found himself with a score of 5-7, 1-4 against the Serbian Ajdukovic, 31st in the cadet draw, before winning that match 13-11 in the tiebreak of the 3rd by canceling a pair of match points. The victory over Zapata Miralles was much easier, before the feat in the decisive round over David Goffin, the clearly most important victory of his career (6-3, 2-6, 7-6, 6-4).
All that remains is to wish you a good continuation with the Live broadcast of the Wimbledon 2024 first round match between Mattia Bellucci and Ben Shelton. we start as the 4th match, before them they will play (from 12.00) Minnen-Watson; Monfils-Mannarino, Zheng-Sun. We are waiting for you!
