One and done: Tirante paid for errors, Marozsán sent him home | OneFootball

It wasn’t to be for the player from La Plata. In what marked his absolute debut in Wimbledon’s main draw, Thiago Agustín Tirante made an early exit in the first round after running into the solidity and efficiency of Hungary’s Fábián Marozsán, who won convincingly in straight sets 7-5, 6-3, 6-4. The Argentine showed flashes of his tennis, but unforced errors at crucial moments ended up burying his hopes on the London grass.

A balanced first set that set the tone

The match began in complete parity. Relying on their serves, both players kept the pace without giving up any ground. Tirante had his big chance in the fifth game with break-point opportunities he was unable to convert. The deadlock stretched to 5-5, when Marozsán stepped on the gas. The Hungarian punished the Argentine’s inaccuracies in the closing stages and ultimately broke serve to take the opening set 7-5.

Marozsán took control and sealed the match

The emotional blow affected the South American heading into the second set. Marozsán, playing extremely aggressive and penetrating tennis from the baseline, held off Tirante’s attempts to recover and quickly unlocked the set to move 3-1 ahead. Looking completely comfortable behind his first serve, the European maintained the gap and wrapped up the set 6-3.

In the final set, the pattern did not change much. Despite Tirante’s efforts to extend the match and turn things around, the Hungarian capitalized on the opportunities the Argentine gave him, with Tirante piling up 5 double faults over the course of the match, and brought the curtain down with a solid 6-4.
