Cecchinato waves goodbye to Umag: Agamenone fairy tale passes

Agamenone unstoppable: the derby is his with a peremptory 6-2 6-1.

Franco Agamenone’s incredible run at the ATP 250 in Umag just doesn’t want to stop. The Argentine tennis player naturalized Italian dominated the match against Marco Cecchinato, in his second derby in a row, after beating friend and rival Lorenzo Musetti, with a score of 6-4 6-3, on Thursday, July 28.

The balance lasted only a few games, until 2-2. From that moment, Agamenone strung together an incredible series of ten games to one, leaving no chance for poor Cecchinato, who was really too foul today, especially with his forehand. Agamenone showed, on the other hand, great solidity and even had the luxury of some serve and volleys during the match, closing with the final score of 6-2 6-1.

Over the moon, interviewed at the end of the match, the No. 136 ATP-ranked tennis player said, “I feel very happy to have won this match, I played very good tennis, only I can say I am very happy. Thanks to everyone for the support.” On whether he will face Carballes Baena or Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, Agamenone said, “They are both two great players, I play against me every match, to outdo myself, that’s all I think about. Both are great, it’s the same for me,” he concluded.
