In Madrid, Federico Cinà makes Sebastian Korda suffer.

Eighteen-year-old Federico Cinà, winner in the first round against Hong Kong tennis player Coleman Wong his second match in a main draw on the ATP major circuit and currently ranked number 373 in the world, was beaten by U.S. Sebastian Korda, number 24, in the second round of the Madrid Masters 1000 with a score of 6-3 3-6 6-1 in one hour and 40 minutes of play.

Ciná did not exploit a beak ball in the first game of the match then lost serve at 2-1 to Korda, who then had a 5-1 ball, did not exploit it but communqueriesce to victoriously end the first set by holding serve to zero.

In the second set, no break point until 3-2 for Cinà, when the son of Roberta Vinci’s former coach Francesco breaks Korda’s serve by going 15-40 on the U.S. serve concretizing the break at the second opportunity, then misses a set point at 5-2 but at 5-3 and with service at his disposal he extends the match.

Unfortunately, Federico, after losing his serve in the hard-fought second game of the deciding partial, as was to be expected gives up sharply, managing only to hold serve in the fourth game, for the rest he wins only two points in the other four games.

However, for the Palermo teenager this is a convincing performance that bodes well for the future.
