[ad_1]
A great Fabio Fognini was not enough to pass the second round of the “Rio Open presented by Claro”, the $2,178,980 ATP 500 held on clay by the Jockey Club Brasileiro. The Ligurian, in the re-edition of the 2022 semifinal, surrendered in three sets to number 1 in the draw, the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, who won with a score of 6-7(5) 6-2 6-4.

“It was a very tough game, Fabio and I played at a very high level, with great shots, great points – commented Alcaraz, still undefeated in 2023 – It’s extraordinary to play matches like this”. In the quarterfinals, the Spaniard, who just a year ago in Rio became the youngest winner of an ATP 500, will meet Dusan Lajovic. Number 75 in the world, the Serbian won the derby with Laslo Djere 6-2 6-4.
