Luciano Darderi, winning comeback: semifinal also in Umag

Luciano Darderi has qualified for the semifinals of the Umag tournament. The fresh Bastad triumphant won in a comeback in the quarterfinals of the Croatian ATP 250 against 2005-class host Dino Prizmic.

The score of 1-6 6-2 6-3 tells of a false start that was remedied with a reaction of strength and character worth the well-deserved passage to the round.

Darderi will now face a player who is from his country of birth, Argentina: Camilo Ugo Carabelli. The two have known each other well: 7 previous matches at Challenger level and below with a 4-3 record in favor of the Blue.

Another triumph could open to him the doors of the top 40 of an increasingly tricolor ranking and not only because of the now stable presence of Jannik Sinner in front of everyone.
