After three quarter-finals in a row in Masters 1000, in Indian Wells, Miami and Monte-Carlo, Arthur son had seen his series stop suddenly in Madrid, where he had been eliminated from the entrance by the Argentinian Comesana.

It was seen this Friday in Rome, where he was convincing for his entry into the running. Opposed to the 35th world Tallon Griekspoor, which he had already eliminated a month ago in Monte-Carlo, the No. 14 won 6-2, 6-2 in 1h07 without trembling. Arthur son had only one break ball to defend, from his very first service game, but he saved it and was then never worried again. The Frenchman then took the Dutch service at 2-2 and 4-2 to pocket the first set, then he quickly led 4-0 in the second, and won the game on his second match ball.
Son satisfied with his match
For the first time in his career, the almost 21 -year -old will therefore see the knockout stages in Rome. “I played well today, I stayed well concentrated from A to Z, compared to Madrid. It’s never easy to come back after two weeks off, but I managed to do it well, I’m very happy “reacted son during his post-match interview. In the next round, he will be opposed to Stefanos Tsitsipas (which he has already beaten three times out of three, including once on abandonment in Barcelona last month) or Alexandre Müller (who beat him twice, especially in Rome last year). Also note this Friday the victory by package by Brandon Nakashima (29th) against Jordan Thompson (41st), injured on the back. The American could challenge Lorenzo Musetti in the sixteenth.
