Another unforgettable day for Argentine tennis was this Tuesday, since the day left a lot of cloth to cut on the brick dust world championship, the second grand slam of the year, where Argentine players usually feel very comfortable.

Everything ended differently than it had started. The picture of gael monfils, the 36-year-old Frenchman, greeting the fans who came to see him. Perhaps, in some kind of last dance. He was facing the Argentine Sebastian Baez, with whom he lost 4-0 in the fifth and, nevertheless, he recovered, he applied all kinds of tricks, a lot of his technique and his tennis.

He worked hard because he won 7-6 in the fifth against the local Quentin Halis and now you will have to face Thiago Seyboth, the Frenchman who beat Medvedev, in the second round. Everything seemed to indicate that the tournament could end prematurely for Pella if he had to cross paths with the Russian.

But taking into account this surprising result, the door of continuity in the tournament, why can’t we dream, open one more opportunity for the Bahian.
