The 26 -year -old Buenos Aires tennis player concluded the story in two sleeves, but the game development, as always happens between them, was balanced and disputed. “They are always very closed, hard, uncomfortable games to play. Today I had a good game, I saved very difficult Games and there the details of the result were seen, “he analyzed.
