The Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo lost this Friday against the British daniel evans in three sets, after entering a crisis of confidence in the definition of the second part, which could give him the pass to the semifinals of the ATP 500 of Barcelona.
The porteño, the country’s first racket, fell 6-2, 5-7 and 3-6 in two hours and 10 minutes of play, one day after achieving the best victory of his career against the world number 3, the Norwegian Casper Ruud.
Cerúndolo had three break chances in the eleventh game of the second set to go up 6-5 and define the match with his serve, but he could not achieve it due to his own errors and hits from an opponent who from that moment grew in his level game until victory in the third segment.
Evans, seeded twelfth on the clay of Barcelona, will compete tomorrow in the semifinals against the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz, number 2 in the world and top seed.
The Murcian won in the only match between the two, at the ATP Vienna 2021.
The other semi will be led by the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and the Italian Lorenzo Musetti, who today eliminated the Australian Alex De Minaur and the Italian Jannik Sinner, respectively.
