Program

At the Arena, however, after Fognini-Grenier it will be the turn of Matteo Berrettini’s debut against the other Spaniard Carballes Baena. A few less chances for Lorenzo Musetti, entered as the fifth match on the Arena.

Mishaps

–

The tournament so far had been played only on the central field, completely redone after the flop of the first field, but from this afternoon the new D’Avalos has also been added. The first to prove it was Berrettini who entered the field at 3 pm while a team of three technicians were still busy fixing the net to the ground. The start of training was also with one of the technicians who crossed the field lowered in front of the net while the blue dribbled. Some laughter and lightness in the test but in the end the OK from the ATP supervisors arrived, even if the humidity then imposed a new stop.
