The tennis player from Vigevano, credited with the number 4 seed of the Sardinian tournament draw, overtook the French Alexandre Ruscica in the first round with a score of 6-1, 6-0 in just 49 ‘of play. One-way game with Baldi too strong for the opponent. In the first set after the first game won by Ruscica, the Vigevano struck six consecutive games and closed the accounts in 26 ‘with a sharp 6-1. Same script in the second game with Baldi trimming a coat, a clear 6-0 to Ruscica in just 23 ‘and reaches the second round. A return to the field for Baldi after last Saturday he was forced to retire in the semifinals in Spain in the Itf tournament in Reus when he seemed set to finish a winning week. The programming of Baldi’s new competitive season saw him restart, after many Challengers and the 2021 season conditioned by a shoulder surgery that forced him to a long stop and lose positions in the ATP rankings, this Spring participating in tournaments on clay of lower category, those Itf. And these are his commitments in this month of April starting from Spain and continuing in these in the tournaments scheduled in Santa Margherita di Pula. –
