The 38-year-old Frenchman, who had previously reached the quarterfinals of this tournament, became the oldest winner of the match in the history of Madrid tournaments at the ATP Master.
“In the beginning, he played only one second injection,” said the Montiso about Goo. -He had a 94th percentage of the first inning, he played fine. I just waited, gave the storm to subside, and then started using other tactics. He began to serve with Kik, tried to change the game, perhaps to allow him to act more, and not to do too much. In the limb he just ran, ran behind the balls. It was not a beautiful victory, but still a victory. ”
The Frenchman lost his series in the first set, but later played all four break-pointees, which the opponent had until the end of the match. At the expense of 4: 4 in the decisive set, the Montisis made a key break, then confidently brought the game to win. He made only 20 casual mistakes against 37 in Goo.
After the losing first set, the Montry took a more aggressive position and focused on the rear line stability. At the end of the second party, he invited a video repetition after Goyo played near the net and seemed to reach the ball through her, which was forbidden by the rules. However, the judge on the tower of Mohammed Layani confirmed that Gooo touched the ball on his side.
