Padel, Major of Rome: Sinicropi-Cattaneo advance to the 2nd round

They beat Lovascio-Oria 6-2 6-4 and now they will find Lima-Stupaczuk, seeded number 3 on the scoreboard. Tomorrow the big names of the circuit enter the scene

At the Foro Italico there is an Italy that wins and exalts itself. The Riccardo Sinicropi / Daniele Cattaneo tandem beats Giulio Lovascio / Salvador Oria 6-2 6-4 and advances to the second round, where he will find Pablo Lima and Franco Stupaczuk, seeded number 3 on the scoreboard. Among the strongest players on the circuit. A good match for the two Italians.

Head held high

Having entered the main draw thanks to a wild card, Cattaneo and Sinicropi improve the result obtained in the first Major of the Premier Padel played in Doha last March (out immediately after passing the qualifiers). The twenty-two year old from Puglia Giulio Lovascio, paired with the Spaniard, comes out with his head held high instead. A good game on his part, lots of precise shots and an excellent game at the net, especially in the last game of the second set, where he and Oria are eliminated after a round of stolen, gained and again lost advantages. Cattaneo and Sinicropi advance to the next round with great merit. An excellent result.
