Pico Monaco is getting back on track with his tennis.
The Argentine beats his compatriot Guido Pella 6- 7-6 (8) in 1 hour and 56 minutes. The world no.19 took full advantage of a “well functioning” serve to blast 8 aces in 11 service games.
“It’s my first final this year, so I’m very happy,” said the Argentine. “I played a couple of good matches, so I’ve got good rhythm. We played a great match. We’ve known each other for a long time and have had many practices together. In the second set especially, we fought until the last point.”
