Marc-Andrea Hueser and Francisco Cerundolo are scheduled to face each other in the first round of the 2022 ATP European Open on October 18.
Marc-Andrea Hueser defeated Holger Rune in straight sets in his first-ever final match on the main tour last month at an indoor competition in Sofia, turning it into his first ATP title. In that season, he defeated three players ranked in the top 50, including Lorenzetti of the ATP Hamburg Championship and Pablo Carreno Busta, the defending champion of the Montreal Masters. The big-serving Swiss lost his first match following his victory in Sofia to Emil Ruusuvuori, 0-6 2-6, and it ended up being one of his worst performances of the year. Following the Biel Challenger (IH) in March, it was the second time in 2022 that he had dropped a set 0-6.
Francisco Cerundolo has established himself in 2022 across all surfaces, and this week, he created a name for himself on indoor hard courts by defeating Manuel Guinard in the opening round of the ATP Gijon tournament. Prior to this month, he has only ever participated in one match on the surface, which was at the Challenger level back in 2019. At the start of the 2022 season, the young Argentinean player had a ranking outside the top 100, but he is now inside the top 30. He advanced to the Miami Masters semifinal, won his first ATP crown in Bastad on his favourite clay, and defeated Rafael Nadal in straight sets at Wimbledon.
Marc-Andrea Hueser and Francisco Cerundolo are scheduled to face each other in the first round of the 2022 ATP European Open on Tuesday, October 18. The tournament is scheduled to begin on October 17 and end on October 23.
The ATP European Open will have five rounds of action excluding the qualifiers. These are the round of 32, round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. The competition’s main draw is set to commence on October 17, 2022 and conclude on October 23, 2022.
