Albert Ramos-Vinolas, who is ranked 37th in the ATP rankings, defeated Dutchman Grexborough 6:4, 4:6, 6:2 and Britain’s Cameron Norrie 6:4, 2:6, 6:4 on the way to 1/8 finals. On the other hand, Hubert Hurkacz eliminated the Bolivian Hugo Delin 7:5, 6:4 and the Spaniard Pedro Martinez 6:3, 4:6, 6:4. And how was that in the direct confrontation between Ramos and Hurkacz, whose share was in the quarter-finals in Mont Carlo?
55 – These were the minutes for the first set. Let’s add: a very equal set. The Pole won the first match, but the Spaniard won the next. And so on for about an hour. Hurkacz tried to force Albert Ramos-Vinolas to run, but he was quite physically prepared and saved really tough balls. Pole service looked great, as he wrote eight aces in the first set, winning it 7:6 (2).
