The goal of a semifinal on Argentine clay thus fades, with his missed opponent Pedro Martinez advancing directly to the round.

Particularly at the beginning of the second set, however, he had reported a few more difficulties, with the explanation that è arrived in the meantime. The muscle injury, forcing Musetti to leave Buenos Aires without ever having lost.
