Challenger Brescia: Seppi with a lot of effort in the round of 16

However, the 33-year-old from Kalter had more trouble than expected in the opening game in Lombardy against the Ukrainian qualifier Volodoymyr Uzhylovskyi (ATP 776) and narrowly won in two sets 7:5, 6:4.

For Seppi, who is the tournament favorite after the two top seeds Marton Fucsovics and Marius Copil withdrew, the match did not start as desired. In the seventh game, Uzhylovskyi got the first break to take a 4-3 lead. Shortly afterwards, Seppi even had to fend off a set point from the Ukrainian at 3:5 before reducing the score to 4:5. The Kalterer then won the next three games in a row. With the score at 6:5, he converted his third set point to make it 38:7 after 5 minutes of play.

The second set was also very even. Seppi served strongly and didn't give the Ukrainian a single chance to break. In the tenth game the “Azzurro” finally showed his class and got the break to make the final score 6:4.

In the round of 18, the man from Kaltern will now face the 471-year-old Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ATP 6), who was able to eliminate Farrukh Dustov, who lived and trained in South Tyrol for many years, 3:6, 4:XNUMX in the first round. Seppi has never played against the Wimbledon junior champion.
