A new season of world tennis began with renewed objectives. In the case of Argentine sport, one of its greatest exponents did not have a good start: Francisco Cerúndolo was eliminated in the round of 16 by 6-1 and 6-1 against Alexandre Muller at the ASB Classic in New Zealand. Faced with this situation, the tennis player made a strong self-criticism on his social networks and surprised his fans.

Cerúndolo started 2024 as the best Argentine in the ATP ranking (19th) and that is why his defeat against the Frenchman who is ranked 81st in the ranking was an absolute surprise. “A disaster, very bad,” he wrote, clearly frustrated by this match. However, a message of optimism: “There is no choice but to stick with it and keep trying.”

Strikingly, the comments were very varied. While a huge majority wished him the best, there were also negative messages, especially from users who were not Argentine.
The New Zealand tournament takes place in the run-up to the Australian Open, Cerúndolo’s next goal. Due to his good performance in 2023, Francisco begins his path at the Australian Open in the main draw. The man from Buenos Aires is one of the hopes of tennis in our country to go as far as possible.
The Australian Open did not start well for the Argentines
This Tuesday was day 2 of the Australian Open Qualy. The hopes of the Argentine tennis players were very high, but the results were not good: seven were eliminated and only Francisco Comesaña and Camilo Ugo Carabelli were able to advance to the round.
