Montecarlo, Nardi beats Otte and enters the main draw

There will be five Italians in the main draw of Monte Carlo Masters 1000. The 19-year-old was added to Sinner, Berrettini, Sonego and Musetti Luke Nardiwho beat the German in the last qualifying round Oscar Ott. The tennis player from Pesaro won in three sets with a score of 6-7, 6-3, 7-6. The name of the first round opponent is still unknown. Fognini will not be part of the blue team, forced to withdraw due to injury.

Nardi’s victory over Otte

Nardi canceled two match points during the third set. Earlier he had lost the first set in a tie break and won the second with a streak of four consecutive games. The blue seemed doomed in the decisive partial, down 5-1. Hence the great comeback: recovered two breaks from a disadvantage and dragged the set to the tie break, won 7-4. For Nardi this is the first qualification for the main draw of a Masters 1000, the second he will play in his career after Rome 2022 when he entered the draw thanks to a wild card.

Who is Luca Nardi

Born in Pesaro, born in 2003, Nardi lives in Fosso Sejore, near Fano, in the Marche region. The notary father, originally from Naples, passed on to him the passion and support for the blue football team. The idol of him is Djokovic, whose poster he keeps in his room. If he continues like this, maybe one day Nardi might even have the chance to face him.
