Etcheverry and Ugo Carabelli reach Hamburg ATP 500 second round | OneFootball

Argentine tennis players Tomás Etcheverry and Camilo Ugo Carabelli won their respective matches and advanced to the second round of the Hamburg ATP 500.

The first to compete was Ugo Carabelli, who earned an important three-set victory over Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak, securing his place in the next stage of the tournament. Carabelli, who is looking to return to the top 50 of the ATP rankings, managed to turn things around after a difficult start, eventually winning 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 after two hours of play.

The match began with an unfavorable first set for Carabelli, who was outplayed by his opponent in a commanding 6-1 set. However, the Argentine significantly raised his level and dominated the next two sets, winning 6-2 and 6-3 to move on to the round of 16.

The key to the match was Ugo Carabelli’s ability to save all three break points against him and convert one of the three chances he had to break serve. In the next round, he will face American Frances Tiafoe (8th), who defeated Germany’s Diego Dedura 6-4, 6-4.

For his part, Etcheverry, currently considered Argentina’s top player, kept up his strong form by defeating Frenchman Térence Atmane 6-2, 7-6(4) after one hour and 40 minutes of play. The win keeps Etcheverry alive in Hamburg, where he is defending the semifinals he reached in the previous edition. In the next round, he will take on American Tommy Paul (6th).

The other Argentine in action this Monday was Francisco Cerúndolo, who despite a strong start against Australian Alex de Miñaur (3rd), ended up falling 3-6, 6-3, 6-4. With this loss, Cerúndolo has now suffered his third defeat in his last four matches, leaving him in a difficult position ahead of Roland Garros, the second Grand Slam of the season.
