Jiri Vesely of the Czech Republic will take on Federico Delbonis of Argentina in the opening round of the 2022 ATP Umag Open on Tuesday.
Due to a thigh injury, Jiri Vesely was obliged to offer a walkover in his Newport Open second-round encounter two weeks ago. The Czech left-hander has been forced to leave a game early or withdraw totally three times this season. The big-serving Czech player is unbeatable when he is on his game, as seen by his two ATP titles and numerous victories over world number one players. However, despite having a difficult season due to injuries, Vesely has still been able to experience the rush of excitement. He defeated players like Marin Cilic, Bautista Agut, Denis Shapovalov, and most notably Novak Djokovic in Dubai to advance to the finals as a qualifier. His performance declined during the clay court season, and he once lost five matches in a row before managing to turn things around on Wimbledon’s grass courts.
Federico Delbonis consistently ranked among the top 100 in the world. But because to his underwhelming 2022 season, his ranking has dropped below three since September 2018. The Argentine slid to 125th in the most recent rankings as a result of this week’s decline in his semifinal points from the Hamburg Open from the previous season. In contrast to last season, when he won 24 matches all of which took place on clay. Delbonis has only managed 10 victories from 30 encounters this year. In the ATP tournament in Gstaad’s second round last week, Dominic Thiem defeated him.
Jiri Vesely and Federico Delbonis will take on each other on Tuesday July 26 in the first round of the 2022 Croatia open. The competition is scheduled to commence on July 25 and conclude on July 31 this year.
