Stumble in Eastbourne: Tirante falls to the tournament surprise | OneFootball

The adventure on British grass took on a bitter taste for Argentine tennis.

The local player, who entered the main draw as a lucky loser, extended his strong run and established himself as the tournament’s true surprise.

For the player from La Plata, the defeat means an early exit from a tournament where he was looking to gain match practice and confidence on the always challenging grass surface.
