Cecchinato Struggling to Win Consecutive Main Draw Matches
Marco Cecchinato has struggled for most of this season and has a 6-12 record in 2021.
The Italian had a 1-6 start to the season, losing in the first rounds in Melbourne-2, Australian Open, Buenos Aires, Santiago and Dubai and winning just one match in Cordoba.
The 2018 French Open semifinalist finally found some momentum on the European clay season. He won his opening round match in Cagliari before bowing out in the Round of 16 and then qualified for the Monte-Carlo Masters and won the first round match against Dominik Koepfer before falling to David Goffin.
Continuing the trend, the 28-year-old right-hander won once each in Belgrade and Estoril but faltered in the next round in both the tournaments, falling to Matteo Berrettini and Ugo Humbert respectively.
He also qualified for the Madrid Open but lost a close three-set first round encounter to Roberto Bautista Agut and then failed to go past the qualifying rounds in Rome.
This week in Geneva, he made the main draw once again through the qualifying rounds and won the first round match against Stefano Travaglia but yet again couldn’t go past the second round, falling to Denis Shapovalov despite taking the first set.
Interestingly, Cecchinato’s last four defeats, including the final qualifying loss to Cam Norrie in Rome, were all three set matches, an indicator that the Italian may be making early exits but not surrendering easily.
