Salvatore continues to seek his fortune on the courts of Italy, although this time he attended a tournament in Sardinia, where he plans to perform no worse than in Parma. Recall that the 77th racket of the world was close to the trophy at the home competition, but in the final he did not have the strength to beat Francis Tiafoe (3-6, 6-3, 4-6). Of course, this defeat upset the Italian representative, but he decided to continue his speech. Caruso will have to face Yannick Hanfmann, who is far from being an ordinary opponent, so the match is worth your attention, especially, since both opponents are betting on a dirt surface.
Charrua failed to put together a list of all the best players in the country. For various reasons Oscar Tabares left out of the list such stars as Muslera, Jose Jimenez, Laxalt, Vecino, Gaston Perreira, Stuani and Cavani. But they had to start against such a strong opponent as Chile. It was such luck that there were stars in the cage that were able to squeeze the most out of the few moments that they managed to create. First, Luis Suarez was able to open an account from the penalty spot at the end of the 1st half, but it was answered by La Roja, of course, at the expense of their leader Alexis Sanchez. The final assault brought success for the Uruguayan national team. A replacement from an experienced mentor worked. He released Maxi Gomez in the 87th minute. And the young striker of Valencia managed to snatch such an important victory over a direct competitor for his team. But now they need to take the maximum in the 2nd round. Will they have enough strength?
