Carreño overcomes the debut in Gijón and Carballés overcomes Berrettini in Florence

Munar and Alvarez, eliminated in the Spanish meet

MADRID, 12 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Spanish tennis player Pablo Carreño surpassed his debut in the Gijón tournament, in the ATP 250 category and which is played on a hard court, by beating (6-4, 7-6 (3)) the Brazilian Thiago Monteiro this Wednesday, but they said goodbye Jaume Munar and Nicolás Álvarez, while in Florence Roberto Carballés advanced with a victory of merit.

Carreño, before his Asturian public, did not fail in a demanding first duel, which he resolved in two worked sets. In the quarterfinals, the local idol will face Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech. The Spaniard did not negotiate the intensity and achieved early income in both sets, the first very authoritarian.

The Brazilian cut the inertia of the Spaniard in the second set with a 'break' in the tenth game, forcing a sudden death in which Carreño was far superior. Meanwhile, Munar yielded in his debut against the American Sebastian Korda by a clear 6-4, 6-1, who will be the rival in the second round of the Spanish Roberto Bautista.

In addition, the American Tommy Paul eliminated (6-3, 7-6(3)) Nicolás Álvarez who had just achieved his first ATP victory. The man from Burgos said goodbye with honors and applause in a tight match, with the bitter taste of letting two set points escape at 4-5 to have forced the third.

On the other hand, at the ATP 250 tournament in Florence (Italy), the Spanish Roberto Carballés came back (5-7, 7-6(5), 7-5) against the Italian Matteo Berrettini. The Canarian showed the quality and head of a great player to prevail in a second set of maximum equality even in the 'tie-break' with which he forced the third set.

The local idol, number 16 in the world, reacted by taking command with a 'break' in the sixth game, but the Spaniard doubled the bet by turning the set around with two 'breaks' to close a prestigious victory. In the quarterfinals, the man from Tenerife will face the Swedish Mikael Ymer.
