Open nazionale maschile 2009

The synthetic glass of Brusaporto won’t be the real one (in every way) of Wimbledon, but the national Open left everyone the sensation to have seen a world circuit tournament. Partly because of the organization and the prize money (euro 10,000.00), worthy of an Itf appointment, partly because of the main characters. Massimo Dell’Acqua from Como won: on the fast surface of Brusaporto he was perfectly at his ease, with the bomb service and with a natural attack play, which is part of his dna. But it has not been easy for the 29 years old, who should also cancel a matchpoint to Marco Pedrini from Brescia (Tc Sarnico) in the second set before seizing the tie-break for 8 points to 6 and finally for 6-4 the third and definitive set. We said the sensation was to be in front of a major tournament, and it is enough to see the seeding to realize it. The number 1 was Francesco Piccari from Rome, now 397 in the world, while the second favourite was Leandro Migani from Argentina, who held the same part of the scoreboard in the Futures of Tc Bergamo. “I am satisfied overall for one thing – explains Roberto Manenti of the Ro.Ma Sport, who organized the event together with Future Talent – of the deep admiration of the players. Everyone underlined the high level of the tournament, and if we think that the stands were often full, we have good elements on which go on in the next years”.
