That's it! Seppi loses to Edmund

In the end it wasn't enough. Andreas Seppi had to admit defeat to the British Kyle Edmund in four sets (7:6, 5:7, 2:6, 3:6) in the round of XNUMX of the Australian Open and was therefore out.

Balanced first sentence, then Edmund comes up trumps

The first set was very even. Both Seppi and the Brit carried their serves through to 6:6. Finally, Seppi was able to win the first set in a tiebreak.

After that, the 23-year-old Edmund got into the game better and took sets two and three. Seppi also got off to a good start in the second set. He took the service from Edmund for a 2-1 lead, but in return received the re-break. Finally, Edmund, who is ranked 49th in the world, managed the decisive break to 7:5. In the third set, Edmund took control and moved away to 3:0. Seppi couldn't find a connection, the Brit managed skillfully and won the set 6:2.

Seppi has to get treatment, Edmund won't let up

At the beginning of the fourth set, Seppi had to have his shoulder treated. As a result, the Kalterer kept up well, but at 3:4 he gave up his serve to Edmund. Finally, the Brit made everything clear and prevailed 2.57:6 in the fourth set – and a playing time of 3 hours.

Seppi missed out on making history and becoming the first Azzurro to reach the quarterfinals of the Australian Open since 1991. It would also have been the first Grand Slam quarter-final in Seppi's career. Nevertheless, the bottom line is that the 33-year-old has had an outstanding tournament. There are also 180 ATP points and 155.000 euros in prize money. As of next week, Andreas Seppi will appear in the world rankings at number 77.
