Hay sad goodbyesbut others not as much as the one he had Daniel Galan in the third round of the US Open. The Colombian tennis player said goodbye this Friday following falling 4-6, 7-5, 4-6, 4-6 once morest the Spanish Alejandro Davidovich.
However, Galán was one step away from being the first Colombian to reach a round of 16 singles final, which made a whole country dream.
Regardless of what happens in the coming months, this becomes the best year of his careerwith three participations in the third round of important tournaments, and with the first victory once morest a top-5 in the world, Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas.
As well as the feeling that Fedecoltenis published on its Twitter account, it is the feeling of the majority of Colombians, who made an effort so that this fairy tale spread: “You have excited us in this tournament and you have made many talk regarding tennis. Surely this will be a boost for your career ”, were the compliments of the Federation.
The Ministry of Sport added to these praises: “A presentation to remember that of Daniel Galan”.
The disappointment of not having advanced to the round of 16 remains, but the peace of mind of having caused the surprise. Also, surely for him, it will improve his ATP ranking and he will be approximately in the 73rd position.
So for Galán there are only applause.
