Federico Delbonis managed to establish this Friday his best mark in tournaments of Grand slam, by beating the Italian in straight sets Fabio Fognini and access the round of 16 at Roland Garros.
The Azuleño tennis player, number 51 in the world, needed 2 hours and 6 minutes of play to win 6-4, 6-1 and 6-3 to Fognini, 29 in the ATP ranking. Of course, that was the net playing time, because the match had an interruption at the end of the second set, because it started to rain in the French capital.
“I am very excited. At the end of the game I felt happiness and remembered everything I worked to get here “, said the Argentine in the court Suzanne-Lenglen.
In the next round, Delbonis will try to continue to improve his performance on the Parisian clay against the Spanish Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (46th), who eliminated the Norwegian Casper Ruud (16th) in five sets.

The remaining Argentine tennis player who continues in the race in Roland Garros it is Diego schwartzman (10th), who awaits his third round match against the German Philipp Kohlschreiber (132 °).
