Cobolli wins by suffering, Sonego ahead all, giant comes out with honor. Two wins and one defeat the Italian Wednesday’s balance sheet at the Masters 1000 in Toronto, disturbed by a rainy that delayed the conclusion of many matches by about half an hour.
many risks

Among these was that of Cobolli, number 17 in the world, who really joked with fire to get the best of the Canadian Wild Card Alexis Galarneau, number 193 of the world ranking. The Roman was getting away in three sets (6-4 5-7 6-4 in two hours and 27 minutes), in a match that cursedly complicatedly complicated. After a set won without too much problems, with a partial initial of 4 games at 0, the Roman has complicated his life in the second: after recovering a break, Flavio plays a bad twelfth game, with two very bloody double fouls, who give the partial to the Canadian. Galarneau takes courage and does not surrender, dates back to the third from 0-2 and keeps Italian on the ropes until 4-4, when Flavio finally gets the final tear, managing to bring home a match where he risked big.
giant regrets

No problem for Sonego, who easily beat the Chinese Yunachakete Bu (n.76) with a score of 6-1 6-4 qualifying for a third round where Andrey Rublev, series head number 6 of the tournament is now waiting for it. The Turinese seemed to be in excellent shape, but against the Russian it will be another story. Nothing to do for an excellent Giant Matteo, who sold in two sets against Gabriel Diallo (6-3 7-6 (5)) but with some regrets, since the blue was ahead of a break in both sets and 5-3 in the tie-break of the second, not enough to beat the Canadian.
