A performance worthy of Agnes in the defeat to Rublev

Andrey Rublev (8th in the world) ended his recent run of poor results with his first win at the Madrid Open against Facundo Bagnes (136th in the ATP), With a score of 6-1 and 6-4.

The Russian, ranked seventh, received with satisfaction this vote of confidence given to his game by the Spanish capital, three weeks before the start of Roland Garros.

The Santa Fe native, coming from the previous stage, was hoping to take advantage of the Russian's bad moment to reach the third round of the Masters 1000 tournament for the first time in his life, but the most he could do was break his serve once, not enough to make up for their mistakes.

The Argentine tennis player had just won in the first round against Brandon Nakashima (81) with a score of 6-3, 7-6 (5), in less than two hours of play.

Rublev had lost to Real Madrid in his first matches in Miami, Monte Carlo and Barcelona, ​​against competitors much less than him. His opponent will come in the next round of the confrontation between Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich and Chinese Junqing Zhang.
