Master 1000 Madrid: Marco Cecchinato surrenders to Alex De Minaur amid regrets

Marco Cecchinato has to surrender to Alex De Minaur in the round of 16 of the Madrid Masters 1000. The Palermo tennis player exits defeated after an hour and forty-five minutes of play with a score of 6-4 7-6 in favor of the Australian.

Many regrets for the Italian, who failed to take advantage of a total of 7 break points, including five only in the eighth game of the first set, which could have reopened the first partial, then won by De Minaur 6-4. At the start of the second Cecchinato did not take advantage of two more chances and the set dragged to the tie-break, decided by a backhand error by the Italian tennis player.

Thus Cecchinato must say goodbye to the Madrid tournament, while De Minaur advances to the round of 16 where he will face Aslan Karatsev, executioner of Botic Van de Zandschulp (6-2 7-5).
