The feat of the veteran from Caldaro who at 37 beats Fucsovics after 4 hours and the passage of the boy from Val Fiscalina who cancels the pains of the 2020 edition

South Tyrol present. Among the skyscrapers of New York yodels of happiness bounce for the double victory of veteran Andreas Seppi and his number 1 fan, the one who had his posters in his bedroom, Jannik Sinner.

Past and future, but above all present, because Seppi, to stop, does not want to know. And of course, if at 37 and a half years he plays and wins in the most important tournaments, there is really no reason to do so. Andreas, in consecutive number 65 appearance in a Grand Slam tournament, wrestled 4 hours and 3 minutes with Marton Fucsovics, the solid Hungarian who knocked Jannik Sinner out in the 1st round of Wimbledon this year. But this time the veteran has avenged the red-haired boy, who was also discovered, like Andreas, by coach Massimo Sartori.

What a battle

A very hard match, physically trying, closed after six match points and after having canceled 4, in an infinite tie break. In the end Seppi won, 2-6 7-5 6-4 2-6 7-6 (13). A dive on the ground, exhausted for him who already at Roland Garros had amazed by overcoming Felix Auger Aliassime at his debut: “Old to whom? – he said -. I enjoy playing and I will go on until I am 45”. If these are the results, why not?

Jannik is there

Between him and Sinner there are 17 and odd years, Jannik has always looked at Seppi as a myth: “He was the most famous among us in South Tyrol – said Piatti’s pupil some time ago – and I always liked him both as a game than as a personality “. The boy from sixth Pusteria, who last year in New York had stopped in the 1st round after a fight in the 5th set more against cramps than with Khachanov, yesterday beat in four sets (6-4 6-2 4- 6 6-2) the Australian Max Purcell, number 191 in the world, completing the perfect day in South Tyrol among the skyscrapers of New York.
