Matteo Viola è stato eliminato al secondo turno del “Porto Open”, torneo challenger ATP con un montepremi di 44.820 euro che si sta disputando sui campi in cemento di Porto, in Portogallo.
Il 33enne mestrino, n.260 ATP, in tabellone come “alternate”, dopo l’affermazione d’esordio sul dominicano Roberto Cid Subervi, n.252 ATP, che a causa di un problema fisico si è ritirato sul punteggio di 61 4-1 in favore del tennista veneto, ha ceduto 62 46 75, dopo due ore e 22 minuti di lotta, all’ucraino Sergiy Stakhovsky, n.242 ATP. Peccato perché il veneto ha mancato un match-point nel decimo gioco sul servizio del suo avversario.

Purtroppo il trend stagionale dei challenger, a parte qualche risultato, molto deludenti quest’anno. Serve linfa nuova dagli itf….
Peccato per Viola. Ha lottato ma non è riuscito a portarla a casa. Atteggiamento scorretto dell’avversario. A fine match sono volate parole …
Epilogo sfortunato per Matteo. Ha avuto un matchpoint su servizio Stakhovsky, poi manfrine dell’ucraino con arbitro e supervisor che da lui non mi aspettavo. Sul 5-5 errore grossolano a sfavore del nostro tennista ed alla fine se ne sono dette quattro Matteo e Stakhovsky. Purtroppo resta la sconfitta ma sempre bello da vedere Matteo a questi livelli. Peccato ovvio per il risultato.
Forza!! 🙂
