The first round of the ATP tournament in Geneva has closed, tournament that takes on the role of active preparation for Roland Garros. Flavio Cobolli is still on the field with Ben Shelton: the winner will face Kazakh Alexander Shevchenko, who took advantage of Emil Ruusuvuori’s withdrawal.
No historic challenge for Novak Djokovic, who will debut with Yannick Hanfmann. The German was in fact right in two sets Andy Murray, thus denying the thirty-seventh meeting between the two ‘Fab Four’. It matters little to the Serbian, who can’t wait to test himself in view of the Parisian Slam. Still talking about players on the road to sunset, sad defeat for David Goffin, which collects the misery of three games with Nicolas Moreno De Alboran.
Among other top seeds, he holds his own Tallon Griekspoor who manages to overcome a difficult client such as in three sets Christopher Eubanks and he will find himself in front Denis Shapovalov, while Jack Draper falls in straight sets with Tomas Machac. Satisfaction also for Alex Michelsen, who wins the derby with Aleksandar Kovacevic and reaches Taylor Fritz in the second round.
