João Domingues wins in the first round of Bielle’s challenger
João Domingues number 214 of the world ranking, surprised his opponent Filip Horansky, theoretically favorite, thanks to his position of 183º placed in the world hierarchy, by the partials of 6-2 and 6-4, in an hour and 12 minutes of the match.
After the defeat suffered in the first challenge of the qualifying phase of the Estoril Open against the Spanish Carlos Taberner, João Domingues thus returned to the victories on the Challenger Tour.
In the next round, the 27-year-old Portuguese tennis player will face the winner of the duel between Italians Federico Gaio (136th ATP), fifth seed, and Pablo Lorenzi (163rd ATP).
