Shock defeat for Federico Cinà in the Majorca Challenger: the 18-year-old Sicilian tennis player was overwhelmed 6-0, 6-0 by Japanese Jay Dylan Hara Friend, number 874 in the ATP rankings, in what was the toughest defeat of his short career.

The Blue, fresh off his elimination in the second round of the US Open qualifiers against Argentina&#8217s Federico Gomez, evidently has not fully recovered from the American trip and fell flat against the Japanese player in the event being played at the Rafa Nadal Academy.

The world number 210 was folded without being able to win a game, in only 55 minutes of the match. Never able to impeach his opponent on serve, Cina stumbled into a classic bad day against a rival on the ball: a setback with many extenuating circumstances considering that only five days ago he was on the court in New York.
