Daniel Rincón is the only one of the four Spaniards who competed in the US Open junior singles tournament that is still in competition, after the eliminations of Alejandro Manzanera and Ane Mintegi on Tuesday, and that of Daniel Mérida this Wednesday.
The 18-year-old from Avila, seeded number three, beat American Alexander Bernard, of the same age, 6-4, 6-3 in 78 minutes. Rincon had 19 winners and broke Bernard's serve four times. This Thursday (18:00, eurosport.es) he will face the American Lilov (6th favorite).
Mérida fought against the tournament's number one, Chinese Juncheng Shang, but missed the first set in a tiebreaker that dominated 4-0 and from there, Shang came up and secured the win with a break in the fifth game (7-6 (5) and 6-4). In doubles, only Mintegi continues in the fray, competing alongside the Andorran Vicky Jiménez. They are in rooms.
