Winner of the Astana tournament at the beginning of the month, Adrian Mannarino can find himself dreaming of a new title this week in Stockholm. Thursday, the Ile-de-France native, knocked out in the 2nd round in Shanghai by Rublev on cloud nine, qualified for the quarter-finals by defeating Russian Roman Safiullin, 42nd in the world, without trembling (6-4, 6-4). Mannarino might face Gaël Monfils in the next match.
There’s no stopping Adrian Mannarino! Winner on October 3 in Astana of his fourth tournament on the ATP circuit and his second this season following his success in Newport earlier in the year, the French number 1 is perhaps on the way to adding a fifth trophy to his his prize list, this week in Stockholm (Sweden). For his debut in this Swedish tournament of which he is the number 2 seed, Mannarino won with great seriousness and without ever trembling (6-4, 6-4 in 1h30), this Thursday once morest the Russian Roman Safiullin. One more success in a season which continues to accumulate them which allows the 24th in the world to find itself once more in the quarter-finals, ten days following having stumbled in the 2nd round of the Shanghai Masters 1000 once morest an unplayable Andrey Rublev that day and who then reached the final of the tournament. At the dawn of a new semi-final, perhaps once morest Gaël Monfils, the native of Soisy-Sous-Montmorency can therefore find himself dreaming of lifting a new trophy. Especially since Thursday, the player coached by Erwann Tortuyaux was particularly impressive.
Mannarino: “I was very consistent”
“I have been very consistent. There were certain moments when it wasn’t easy, but I was able to show consistency, and that’s what allowed me to win the important points,” the winner very modestly analyzed at the speaker’s microphone. followingwards. Mannarino, already a quarter-finalist in Stockholm in 2014, a tournament that he particularly appreciates, might indeed have given a little tennis lesson to his opponent of the day, ranked 42nd in the world and a winner in Shanghai ten days earlier in ‘Andy Murray and Alexander Zverev. In both sets, the Frenchman had two breaks in advance and seemed set to leave only crumbs for the Russian, who ultimately managed to score four games both times. “Manna”, however, clearly dominated the debates. His next opponent, whether Monfils or Misolic, is warned.
