Flavio’s adventure continues in the ATP 500: 7-6 6-0 at the Spaniard. Now he will find Etcheverry. Darderi Ko against Rublev in three sets
Flavio Cobolli flies to the semifinal at the ATP 500 in Hamburg, once again showing his good moment on the red earth, which seemed a little a little vanished to the Foro Italico. The Roman in the quarterfinals beat Roberto Bautista Agut, n. 57 in the world, with the score of 7-6 (4) 6-0 in an hour and 25 minutes, at the end of a well-played and above all controlled game, even when things were not putting well, like that break of a lost advantage, with the reaction at the right time, at the tie break. The blue then dominated the second set, with a quality of tennis climbing more and more, at every game.

For Cobolli is the fourth ATP semifinal in the career, the second in a 500 after that of Washington last year, afterwards he then arrived in the final. His opponent will be the Argentine Tomas Martin Etcheverry, n. 55 ATP, winner on Lehecka in two sets. Instead, the other Italian engaged in the quarterfinals in Hamburg, Luciano Darderi, beaten by Andrey Rublev with the score of 6-1 3-6 6-3 in an hour and 55 minutes of the game is eliminated. A good game, for Darderi, almost as much as to overturn it, but unfortunately for him he had to deal with a good version of the Russian, albeit fluctuating, as seen in the second set, where the Italian-Argentine had managed to impose the game, taking advantage of the opponent’s mistakes. For the former Top Ten it is a return to good levels after a very complicated period, despite the collaboration with Marat Safin. For Darderi good indications in view of Paris, where it will still be a player not to be underestimated for anyone.
