Wawrinka Debuta, Gana Y Enamora a Acapulco Martes 26 de febrero de 2019 www.abiertomexicanodetenis.com AbiertoMexicanoDeTenis WAWRINKA DEBUTA, GANA Y ENAMORA A ACAPULCO unque no está ubicado entre los principales sembrados Adel torneo, el suizo Stan Wawrinka demostró que es un fuerte candidato a pelear por título del Abierto Mexicano Telcel presentado por HSBC al superar en dos sets al estadounidense Ryan Harrison, que venía procedente de la fase de clasificación. Desde el inicio del encuentro, Wawrinka impuso condiciones al romper el saque de su oponente en el primer juego, lo que fue suficiente para llevarse el parcial en 36 minutos, además de sumar cinco servicios directos. En el segundo, el de Lusana volvió a quebrar temprano, pero Harrison se recuperó y rompió para empatar 4-4, con lo que el partido se fue al “tie-break”. En esta instancia, el suizo lució su poderoso servicio con un impresionante 92 por ciento de puntos ganados con su primer saque, sus espectaculares golpes de derecha y su conocido revés a una mano, que fue un deleite para los asistentes que en todo momento le mostraron su apoyo incondicional. El marcador final quedó registrado en 6-4 y 7-6 (6). Stan, que el año pasado estuvo varios meses inactivo debido a lesiones e intervenciones quirúrgicas, se encuentra actualmente en el peldaño 42 de la ATP, pero ha empezado a subir poco a poco su nivel como lo demuestra la final que jugó hace un par de semanas en el ATP 500 de Rotterdam, donde fue superado por el francés Gael Monfils. “Me siento maravilloso desde hace algunas semanas luego de tres meses de problemas. Regresé a Acapulco este año y desde que llegué y comencé a practicar, la gente me ha recibido muy bien. Me encanta jugar aquí”, señaló el suizo. Ganador tres Grand Slam en su carrera (Australian Open 2014, Roland Garros 2015 y US Open 2016), el helvético de 33 años, tendrá como rival en la segunda ronda al estadounidense Steve Johnson, séptimo sembrado, que dejó en el camino al mexicano Gerardo López. #celebratingtennis AMT 1 @ATPTour_ES @SloaneStephens @MutuaMadridOpen ¡DESCARGA LA APP!

The Argentine is 5-16 against Federer with all five wins on hard courts, none more meaningful than when he rallied from a set-and-a-break down to deny Federer a sixth straight US Open title. Del Potro can prevent history from being made again as Federer and Rafael Nadal are one win from meeting for the first time at the US Open. The Swiss and Spaniard have been this close six times now, including in 2009, when del Potro defeated Nadal 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 in the semi-finals before beating Federer in the final. • Nadal’s quarter-final opponent on Wednesday is #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev. The 19-year-old Russian is the youngest US Open quarter-finalist since Andy Roddick in 2001. Rublev would be the youngest semi-finalist at the US Open since Lleyton Hewitt in 2000 and at any Grand Slam event since Nadal at 2005 Roland Garros. A teenager has never defeated a World No.
