Delbonis, Bagnis and Ugo Carabelli are aiming to qualify
Federico Delbonis He lost ranking positions in recent years, which forced him to return to the Challenger circuit and play qualifiers in ATP tournaments. After a positive time in Córdoba, Azuleño arrived in Buenos Aires and wanted to reach the main league. In a game that went from less to more, the Argentine beat the Italian Andrew Pellegrino author 7-6(5), 6-0 after 1h45min of the game.
Facundo Bagnis He came from a bad time in Córdoba, as he was one of the Argentines who suffered from the hustle and bustle of the Davis Cup trip to Finland. Born in Armstrong, he arrived at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club with many opportunities to win the classification. After a first round in which he had to work, the Argentine beat the Italian-Argentine Frank Agamemnon author 7-5, 6-1.
Camilo Ugo Carabelli He has received some strange statements in recent months. In Tigre he said that «he didn’t go to the qualifiers in Australia because he didn’t feel like it» and in Córdoba he commented that «I’m going to miss playing because I’m a bit burnt out.» There has been a lot of speculation about his future in recent hours. However, the Argentine dared, jumped onto the field in Buenos Aires and signed a great victory 6-1, 6-2 after 1h42min about Timofey Skatov.
JM Cerúndolo, Olivo and Tirante say goodbye
It was a very rare case John Manuel definitely. The youngest of the brothers was in Córdoba until Friday at 21:00 arguing for the quarterfinals. If he were to win and reach the semi-finals, he would receive a Special Exemption and go straight into the Argentina Open draw. However, he was eliminated in three sets and had to travel very quickly to Buenos Aires to play the qualifier at 17:30 at the earliest. There he was seen physically and mentally exhausted – according to logic – and despite fighting it, he collapsed before Yannick Hanfmann author 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 after two hours.
Renzo Olive He came to challenge the classification from Córdoba, where he was quickly eliminated in the first round. After that, he hoped to reach Buenos Aires, although he was several victims. But Rosario’s illusion was to sign a substitute because in that case the current ranking is used and it favored him. An hour before the draw, he managed to get in. Although he always remained in the party, Dusan Lajovic showed great level and kicked him 6-3, 6-4 and 1h10m.
Thiago Tirante He had to stay at the top of Córdoba’s standings, as he was one game away from qualifying for the major league. The Argentine suffered from numerous injuries in recent years, which slowed his rise in the rankings. The organization of the tournament decided to invite him to the qualifiers for the second time in a row, in 2021 it had reached the main series. The draw was not favorable and the La Plata player was eliminated Juan Pablo Varillas 6-2, 6-4.
