The Argentine Camilo Ugo Carabelli advanced to the third round of Masters 1000 of Miami by defeating 6-7 (3), 7-5 and 6-3 to the American Alex Michelsen and will face Serbian Novak Djokovic.
The “sorcerer”, who entered the main box as Lucky Loser, had to deploy all his claw and talent to overcome the American Michelsen in a marathon meeting that extended for two hours and 33 minutes.
The game did not start in the best way for Ugo Carabelli, who gave the first set in a tiebreak that ended 6-7 (3).
However, the Argentine knew how to rebuild and stand firm in crucial moments. In the second set, he managed to win 7-5 thanks to a decisive break in the last games.
Already in the third and final set, the Buenos Aires took control of the match from the beginning, demonstrating a remarkable solidity that led him to close it with a 6-3 in his favor.
With this triumph, Ugo Carabelli won the right to face one of the most prominent players in the history of tennis, Djokovic.
The Serbian, current number five in the world, has comfortably beat the Australian Rhinky Hijikata 6-0 and 7-6 (1) and will now be measured with the Argentine.
The day also brings hope for Argentine tennis, since Francisco Cerú will seek to continue moving forward in the tournament when he faces French Alexandre Müller in the afternoon-night.
On the other hand, the Spanish Jaume Munar surprised the world of tennis by eliminating the Russian Daniil Medvedev, one of the favorites, with a blunt 6-2 and 6-3, consolidating himself as the great revelation of the day.
