Hugo Dellien signed up for the second round of the Barcelona Open main draw, in Spain. The ATP 500 tournament is played at the facilities of the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona, on a clay surface. The Bolivian tennis player beat Frenchman Manuel Ginard on Tuesday, 6-4, 7-5, in one hour and 43 minutes of play.
Beniano, who won two games of the ‘Qualy’ (qualifying phase), initially had to face the Spanish Alejandro Davidovich, number 27 in the ranking of the Association of Professional Tennis Players (ATP), but the European decided not to participate in the tournament after being runner-up in the Monte Carlo Masters 1000.
For this reason, the ‘Tiger’ who ranks 89th in said ranking he rivaled Manuel Ginard, who is number 152 in the world.
the first set, our compatriot once lost service and broke his opponent’s serve twice to win 6-4, in 55 minutes of play.
the second set, the Bolivian started with a scare because he lost the service from the start, but then came back and managed to win 7-5, in 48 minutes of play.
Hugo Dellien’s next rival will be the American Frances Tiafoe, who is 24 years old and is the current number 29 in the ATP ranking. The match will be played this Wednesday, with a time yet to be defined.
