Success: Comesaña continues to make history at the US Open :: Olé

Francisco Comesaña (108th) played only 10 matches at the ATP level. Rower on the field of opposition, the man from Mar del Plata was able to jump into the group in 2024. And until he arrived US Openwhere he entered the main draw thanks in large part to a last-minute loss, he had a two-game margin and six losses. Now, that win was at Wimbledon. And as if he had grown in difficulty and heat, he also delivered in the Grand Slam. In the second round of the tournament being held in Flushing Meadows, the Argentines beat It’s Humbert (17th) by 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 and 6-4 in 3h01m.

Determination. Angry. Lethal. Comesaña’s legs seem to weigh him down as he plays against a tough opponent. And on the 17th court of the US Open he showed the highest level: he suffered from his back with a slice and punished with his forehand. While it looked as if the French left-back could throw all his experience on the cement, the Argentinian showed the flexibility to handle himself in difficult situations. Moreover, when he saw the door open, he did not hesitate to enter. His opponent showed some signs of physical fatigue, he took the opportunity to play freely.

With 11 aces and 61% of the first serve, Comesaña dominated his music and saved three breaks out of six. Likewise, he played well and returned: he broke the opponent’s serve on five of the 13 chances created.

Before the tournament, Fran appeared outside the top 100 in the rankings. And after two wins and 90 points taken, he is sure to be in the group as he registers 20 places in the legs.

The next round will have him against the Italian Matteo Berrettini (44th) or the American Taylor Fritz (12th).
