The 19-year-old from San Candido, opposed to Rublev, gives up on 1-2 in the first set, after 7 ‘of play, due to a probable problem in his foot. The Turin player beats Hurkacz with a double tie-break

Today three Italians on the pitch in the two European ATP tournaments of the week. In Vienna, in the second round of the Erste Bank Open (Austria, indoor hard, 1.409.510 e), Jannik Sinner, opposed to the Russian Andrey Rublev (seeded number 5), retires almost immediately, down 2-1 in the course of the first set.
