Pedro Sousa qualifies for the second round of the Melbourne tournament
Pedro Sousa, 107th in the world ranking, imposed himself in the inaugural elimination on a tennis player who was participating in the Australian competition at the invitation of the organization, by the 6-4 and 7-6 (7-5) partials, after an hour and 15 minutes of confrontation.
In the second round of the Melbourne tournament, on a fast track, Pedro Sousa will face a more difficult opponent to overcome, Briton Daniel Evans, 33rd ranked in the ATP hierarchy and eighth seed, who was exempt from disputing the tie initial.
Pedro Sousa had direct entry into the main board of the Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of 2021, to be held between 08 and 21 February, with strong restrictions due to the pandemic of covid-19, in which he will have the company of compatriot Frederico Silva, who first qualified for a ‘major’.
