Disclosure: Thiago Wild
Thiago Wild was on the court this Thursday morning (9) for the first round of the Masters 1000 in Rome, Italy. The Brazilian tennis player played well and beat Frenchman Gregoire Barrere 2-0 (6-4 and 6-2) in 1h29min. With the triumph, the Brazilian number 61 in the world qualified for the round of 32 of the competition.
In the confrontation, almost absolute dominance by Wild. The Brazilian tennis player started the first set with great intensity and scored a 3-0 run with two breaks of serve. Barrere reacted and in the next three games managed to return two breaks, but suffered another. Thus, the Brazilian maintained the advantage and closed the score at 6-4.
In the next part, Thiago Wild gave the Frenchman no chance. There were three triumphs in opposing services, which made the situation comfortable for the Brazilian to win the duel. Finally, the highlight of the victory was Wild’s excellent first serve, which saw 75% of points used and an incredible 8 aces in the match.
Number 1 in Brazil, Thiago Wild occupies his best position in the ATP rankings (61st), and has a good chance of entering the top-60 for the first time. This is because, with today’s triumph, he is already in 58th place in the partial ranking. In the next round, Wild will face Argentine Tomas Etcheverry, number 28 in the world. The confrontation is unprecedented at ATP level, but the tennis players have already faced each other three times in challenger tournaments, with two victories for Etcheverry.
