Marco Cecchinato wins the second round of the Madrid Masters 1000

The Italian tennis community is celebrating Marco Cecchinato, who, in addition to Andrea Vavassori, beat Andy Murray in the first round of the Madrid Masters 1000. In fact, the 30-year old from Palermo beat the Hungarian Marton Fuchsovics 7-6(4), 6-1, ending a “curse” which had prevented him from winning a main draw in a Masters 1000 tournament since Monte Carlo in 2021.

Despite the small gap in ranking (Cecchinato currently ranks No. The Sicilian athlete, who is currently ranked 85, two places below Fucsovics, and after a less-than-brilliant start in which his opponent was quick to seize a break, did not lose his composure. He first recovered the break, and then closed a long (63 minute) first set at the tiebreak. In the second set, Cecchinato was the one who had the break advantage and did not lose it again. He finished the first set in 63 minutes.

Cecchinato is thus on his way to the second round at the Madrid Masters 1000. His next opponent will be the Australian Alex De Minaur who is ranked number 19 in world rankings.
