Aon Tennis Challenger: Troicki Batte Brown, Trevisan Vince Un Match Maratona Con Naso Di Christian Galfrè 04 Settembre 2014 – 10:23 1 Aon Tennis Challenger: Troicki batte Brown, Trevisan vince un match maratona con Naso di Christian Galfrè 04 Settembre 2014 – 10:23 Genova. Giornata intensa ed appassionante, non priva di sorprese, all’Aon Open Challenger “Memorial Giorgio Messina”, in corso di svolgimento presso i campi di Valletta Cambiaso. Esce la testa di serie numero 4 dell’evento, lo spagnolo Montanes, vincitore del torneo di Genova nel 2012. Prestazione esemplare di Fucsovics: l’ungherese ha portato a casa vittoria e applausi del pubblico dopo un’ora abbondante di gioco. Successo della testa di serie numero uno Ramos-Vinolas che supera in tre set un ostico Virgili al termine di un match a tratti molto spettacolare. Lo spagnolo si candida alla vittoria finale e si complimenta con Virgili: “Ha disputato un’ottima partita. Non era facile portare a casa questo successo. Il mio obiettivo? Anche questa volta il torneo è di grande livello e spero davvero di andare avanti il più possibile”. Bene Cecchinato che regola senza problemi Basilashvili. “Sono soddisfatto – spiega il tennista di Palermo -, è stato un ottimo debutto in un torneo, come sempre, molto bello e di grande livello”. Esce Potito Starace, regolato in due set dall’emergente svedese Lindell. Tutto semplice per Genova24.it - 1 / 3 - 02.10.2021 2 Paire, che ha annichilito Sousa mostrando di essere di ben altro livello rispetto al portoghese; pronostico rispettato anche da Dzumhur che ha piegato in 2 set il qualificato Kovalik. Trevisan e Naso hanno battagliato per oltre tre ore, disputando un avvincente partita. L’ha spuntata il toscano, che ha così onorato la wild card. Nessuno dei qualificati ha superato il primo turno: fuori anche Galovic, battuto in rimonta dal connazionale Delic. Avanti Andreas Beck che supera agevolmente Gaio. Nel torneo di doppio passano il primo turno i genovesi Picco e Basso e i favoriti Brunstrom e Monroe, non senza soffrire. Nella serata di lunedì era uscita la wild card Gianluca Mager, talento ligure tesserato per il Park Tennis Genova, piegato in due set da Hajek. La seconda serata, invece, ha visto il Beppe Croce tutto esaurito, con molte persone rimaste in piedi per poter assistere all’attesa sfida tra il campione uscente Brown e Troicki. L’ha spuntata il serbo, più solido e concreto, vincendo facilmente il primo set e rimontando un break di svantaggio nel secondo. Il tabellone del singolo: Ramos-Vinolas Albert (Esp, 95, 1) b.

Beginning the day's matches are wild card and No. 2 seed Roberto Bautista Agut, who takes on Britain's Aljaz Bedene. The No. 77 Bedene leads their head-to-head 2-1, but the last contest this season in Miami went to the World No. 17 Bautista Agut. Both men are looking to match their best result here at Winston-Salem. Following on Center Court is No. 6 seed Sam Querrey, who has reached the semi-finals here in three out of four attempts. He takes on Guillermo Garcia-Lopez, who has also had success here in the past, reaching the quarter-finals in 2014. The two have met on the courts of Wake Forest twice in their career history, in the second round in 2013 and in the quarter-finals in 2014. Both matches fell in Querrey's favor, though Garcia-Lopez pushed the American to three sets in his quarter-final loss.

On Saturday against Andrey Rublev, he can start anew with a championship to begin 2018. The Frenchman arrived as a wild card following a four-month hiatus due to a right knee injury. Monfils has found success in familiar territory, falling to then-No. 1 Roger Federer (2006), then-No. 6 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (2012) and then-No. 1 Rafael Nadal (2014) in his previous Doha finals. Monfils is one of three wild cards to reach the final in Doha’s 26-year tournament history, joining Younes El Aynaoui in 1996 and Nicolas Escude in 2004. Escude, also from France, is the only wild card to win the Doha title. Monfils’ first final in Doha came as a 19-year-old, but his 20-year-old opponent on Saturday is bidding to become the youngest Qatar ExxonMobil Open champion ever.

  • Former World No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic Added to Odlum Brown Vanopen Men’S Draw
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JULY 16, 2015 FORMER WORLD NO. 8 JANKO TIPSAREVIC ADDED TO ODLUM BROWN VANOPEN MEN’S DRAW Vancouver, BC - Organizers of the Odlum Brown VanOpen are pleased to announce former World No. 8 Janko Tipsarevic has been granted a wildcard entry into the main draw of the men’s competition August 15 - 23 at Hollyburn Country Club in West Vancouver. The 31-year-old from Serbia spent 2014 recovering from a foot injury and is looking to get back to the form which made him a US Open quarterfinalist in 2011 and 2012. He also made it to the fourth round of singles at Wimbledon in 2007 and 2008, the French Open in 2012, and the Australian Open in 2013. “We are really excited to add a player of Janko’s stature to the men’s draw at this year’s tournament,” said Odlum Brown VanOpen Chairman Floyd Hill. “Anytime you can attract a player who’s been among the top 10 in the world and defeated the calibre of players that Janko has, it strengthens the event significantly and gives fans the opportunity to see another world-class player here in Vancouver.” The players that Tipsarevic holds victories over reads like a who’s-who in men’s tennis. He has two career wins against World No. 1 and fellow Serb Novak Djokovic. Tipsarevic has also beaten former World No. 1 players Carlos Moya, Marat Safin, Lleyton Hewitt, Juan Carlos Ferrero and Andy Roddick. In addition, he has thirteen career victories against other top 10 players, including four wins against Tomas Berdych, and one each against Fernando Gonzalez, Mikhail Youzhny, David Ferrer, James Blake, Gael Monfils, Andy Murray, and Juan Monaco.

First up on Center Court is a rematch of the Sofia final in February, when Roberto Bautista Agut beat Viktor Troicki for the title. Bautista Agut, seeded No. 2 after accepting a wild card, is a two-time winner on the ATP World Tour in 2016 (also Auckland) and bidding to reach his first ATP final on American soil. On the two occasions the Spaniard has reached semi-finals on tour in 2016, he has gone on to win the title. This is the 20th ATP semi-final of Troicki’s career (9-10) and third of 2016 (2-0) after reaching finals in Sydney (d. Dimitrov) and Sofia (l. to Bautista Agut). The No. 9 seed is aiming to reach his 10th ATP final, and second in the U.S. – his only other stateside final came at 2008 Washington (l. to del Potro). Not before 7pm, John Millman plays in his first ATP World Tour semi-final against Spaniard Pablo Carreño Busta, whom he beat in in their first meeting at ATP Masters 1000 Miami in March.
