Arthur Rinderknech executes Diego Schwartzman and joins 2nd round in New York
With a nice realism, Arthur Rinderknech exploited his favorable draw and got rid of Diego Schwartzman in three rounds in the first round of the US Open. It thus raises the tricolor balance sheet.
On paper, Diego Schwartzman is a prestigious opponent. Former Top 10, former Grand Slam semi-finalist (Roland-Garros 2020), the Argentinian has quite a pedigree. But it has been in free fall for some time, and the opportunity was good for Arthur Rinderknech to cross the first round of the US Open for the third consecutive year.
Aware of the opening, the Habs applied themselves as much as possible to keep their commitment, being only rarely in danger on their serve. Aggressive but not too much, he took full advantage of his first ball. Admittedly, the Argentinian is still an outstanding fighter, but limited by his power deficit.
Nice service game for the Habs.
Flashscore
And on a surface that suits him well, the Frenchman was above all solid on the important points. In the first two innings, he won the day by converting his only break opportunity. The first game of the third set was crucial, Rinderknech breaking from the start after a good battle to then fly away to a certain victory.
Arthur Rinderknech finally wins 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 and joins the second round in New York. A stadium which is its Grand Slam glass ceiling. To break it, he will have to get rid of Matteo Berrettini, who dominated Ugo Humbert. Not the easiest opponent, but if he maintains his quality of service he will have a chance.
