Challenger Biella 7, excellent debut for Jacopo Berrettini. Varillas on Monday

by admin

For the seventh time this season Biella welcomed the professional players (many of them returning from qualifying for Roland Garros) registered for yet another international tournament, included in the ATP Challenger Tour, organized by Cosimo Napolitano and his staff.
Excellent debut by Jacopo Berrettini. The youngest of the family (Matteo is three years older and at Roland Garros he will face the Japanese Daniel) defeated in two sets the tds number 1 of the qualifiers Nicola Kuhn for 6-4, 6-3. Raul Brancaccio got rid of the Tunisian Aziz Dougaz in just over an hour: 6-4, 6-1 the score. The third blue to smile was Luca Vanni, now at home in Biella. The Tuscan, who will turn 36 in a few days, met no particular resistance in the Russian Evgeny Karlovskiy, beaten 6-3, 6-1.
Nothing to do for Filippo Baldi. At his seasonal debut, the Lombard had little chance against the transalpine Antoine Escoffier, who scored with a score of 6-1, 6-1. In the other results, the French Hugo Grenier beat Omar Giacalone 7-5, 6-2; the Russian Alexey Vatutin got rid of Marco Bortolotti 3-6, 6-4, 6-1; the Argentine Ugo Carabelli left no way out for the Russian Ronald Slobodchikov (6-2, 6-1) and Artem Dubrivnyy eliminated the transalpine Geoffrey Blancaneaux 7-5, 6-4.

Stefano Napolitano did not draw an easy opponent. The home talent, who dropped to 331st place, will face Alexandre Muller on Tuesday. The 24-year-old from Aix-en-Provence, in the previous two Challengers from Biella, arrived first in the semifinals, stopped by the winner Varillas in three hard-fought sets and then in the quarters, beaten again by the athlete who would then raise the trophy, Kokkinakis.
The first favorite on the eve is the Peruvian Juan Pablo Varillas (130 Atp), already winner of the fourth Challenger from Biella (133), who will debut on Monday around 14 against the Czech Zdenek Kolar, 24, 231 in the world ranking.
