Sinner misses early entry into the main draw in Rome

Sinner (ATP 262) had to admit defeat to his compatriot Andrea Basso in three sets 7:6(3), 4:6, 3:6.

So Basso gets a wild card for the main draw in the Foro Italico. Sinner can also hope for a fixed place there, because if Andreas Seppi manages to make it directly into the main field, the Pusterer would get the last wild card. Otherwise he has to play in the qualification on Saturday. However, the chances that the South Tyrolean will make it into the main field are high. The draw for the “Internazionali d'Italia” will take place on Friday at 18.30:XNUMX p.m.

After he was able to eliminate Luca Tomasetto, Riccardo Balzerani and Lorenzo Musetti in the top young star game on Wednesday, Sinner met 25-year-old Andrea Basso from Genoa, who is in position 419 in the ATP rankings, in the pre-qualification final on Thursday to be led.

The match was very even from the start. Until 6:6, both Sinner and Basso got a break each. In the tiebreak, the Pusterer was ultimately able to hold his own with 7:3.

In the second half of the game it was Basso who made it 3-1 with an early break. The player from Genoa couldn't miss the service and converted his second set point to make it 1:33 after 6:4 hours of play. In the third set, Sinner was out of steam: the Pusterer seemed very tired, Basso now played much better and won 6:3.
