“FAA” Disabled by citsipas | The Journal of Montreal

Felix Agger-Aliasim rubbed his shoulders with a player to be eliminated in the quarterfinals of the ATP 500 tournament in Barcelona on Friday.

After losing the first two shocks against Agar-Aliasim among the experts, Citsipas won the last four.

The FAA’s lack of opportunism was the main reason for this defeat. There was a decisive sequence in the first moments of the confrontation.

With a 1-0 lead and a 0-40 score, the 10th seed of the tournament missed out on a golden opportunity to break the citsipas to gain control of the first set. Subsequently, he was unable to take advantage of the other broken balls in the game.

“I handled this situation well to win my serve,” said Citsipas, who won his eighth game in a row. It helped keep me in the game and allowed me to break it later. I was not afraid. I know what I’m doing. “

Then, with a 2-2 tie, Agar-
Aliasim is not up to work. He suffered a double fault along with making some mistakes to give the second seed a break on the silver field.

From that moment on, we felt that Fred Fontang’s protege was mentally broken. Tsitsipas did not ask big and the winner of Monte-Carlo won 6-3 and closed the books in the first round.
