By slowing down and raising the trajectories of his shots, the talented tennis player from Beziers forced Dzumhur to always take excessive risks, with consequent errors – especially with the backhand – in an attempt to take the initiative of the exchange.Īfter the 6-3 of the first set, decided by Gasquet’s break in the second game, the second set seemed to slip away along the same lines, with the Frenchman breaking the serve again in the third game and then he had two consecutive chances for the double break and to serve for the match at 5-2. Also thanks to the 35-year-old Frenchman, who was able to harness the attempts of the Sarajevo tennis player to replicate the aggressive tactic implemented with profit against the blue from the beginning. The balance, on the other hand, was only there for the last half hour, given that in the first 70 minutes on the Umag Central we saw the tarnished version of Dzumhur that we are unfortunately used to seeing for two years now, the one that brought him out of the top 100 since February 2020. The splendid performance provided in the previous round by Dzumhur against Marco Cecchinato had made us think on the eve that the match could turn out to be much more balanced than could be assumed given the difference in the standings (n.59 the French, n.127 the Bosnian). In the middle of the afternoon, the match between Richard Gasquet and Damir Dzumhur inaugurated the day of the quarter-finals of the Croatia Open. Also for Ramos-Vinolas the Umag semi-final is a good breath of fresh air, considering that he had returned from a streak of seven consecutive defeats and had not won from the first round match of the Masters 1000 in Madrid (after having won the 250 in Estoril the week before).
He can therefore start again with confidence from this result, even in his work with his new coach Uros Vico. Travaglia leaves Umag to move to Kitzbuhel, however, taking with him some good indications, since broke the negative streak that didn’t see him win two straight games in a main draw from Melbourne’s ATP 250 in February. On the Grandstand, the second most important field of the “Stella Maris” facility that hosts the tournament, “ Steto ”has never managed to make an equal match against the 33-year-old tennis player from Barcelona, who has always held the ball of the game from the baseline in his hand, thanks above all to the left-handed forehand that forced the 29-year-old tennis player from Ascoli Piceno constantly on the defensive, unable to find the depth of the shots necessary to change the inertia of the exchanges, paying in particular the lack of incisiveness with the second serve (with which he obtained only 12% of the points).
