Vacherot stopped Navone’s adventure in the second round of the Miami Open

Mariano Navone (61st in the world) said goodbye to the Miami Opensecond Masters 1000 of the season, in the second round. In stadium two of the North American complex, and at the end of the day, Monegasque Valentin Vacherot (25th) eliminated him with sets of 6-3 and 6-4.

The Argentine, who had just achieved his first victory in the Florida competition in two appearances, precisely against the Georgian Nikoloz Basilashvili, played a good game, but could not prevail against the solidity of his rival. In 2025 he had fallen in the debut against Lorenzo Sonego, so he leaves with a few more points in the standings.

After two close sets, in which some details tipped the Monaco men’s slate, the one born on July 9 left with his head held high and with the satisfaction of having given himself to the maximum, beyond defeat. Now, now start thinking about the brick dust tour.

For his part, the champion of the Shanghai Masters 1000 2025 and recent finalist in Indian Wells in the doubles category, served very well throughout the match, capitalizing on his chances of break and he failed less than the albiceleste, which made him the fair winner.

This way, Vacherot advanced to the phase and will face the Italian Matteo Berrettini (68th)Wimbledon finalist in 2021, who achieved one of his best victories in recent times by beating the Kazakh Alexander Bublik (11th) in two sets.

For Latin American tennis, meanwhile, this will not be a day to remember, since only Thiago Tirante was the winner. The Argentines Sebastián Báez, Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Mariano Navone, the Chilean Tomás Barrios Vera and the Colombian Camila Osorio were eliminated.
