Flavio Cobolli precisou abandonar o duelo italiano contra Matteo Berrettini, que encerrou a programação desta quinta-feira no ATP 500 de Viena.
Os dois ficaram 40 minutos em quadra. Cobolli deixou a partida com uma lesão no quadril esquerdo, no momento em que perdia o set inicial por 5/2.
Berrettini, número 6 do mundo e candidato a uma vaga no ATP Finals, consolou o amigo e falou sobre o momento.
"Estou muito triste por ele. Sei o quanto ele quer estar em Turim. Nós nos conhecemos desde que éramos crianças sonhando em jogar nos melhores palcos. Desejo a ele nada além do melhor", disse o italiano.
Nas quartas de final, o adversário será Alex de Minaur, australiano que é o número 10 do ranking e que superou Learner Tien, dos EUA, com 6/4 e 6/2. Já no histórico, o italiano leva vantagem por 3 a 2, mas perdeu o encontro mais recente, em Viena, na temporada passada.
O jogo fecha a programação desta sexta-feira, às 16h. Quem vencer pode pegar o principal cabeça de chave, Alexander Zverev, ou então Arthur Fery, britânico que joga antes, a partir das 13h30.
