Tennis player from Kazakhstan to initiate competition at the "Masters" event in Rome.
Got the scoop on Alexander Shevchenko, Russia's second-best male singles player! 🎾
In a nail-biting clash at the ATP 1000 tournament in Rome, Shevchenko went head-to-head against Jesper de Jong, the 93rd-ranked Dutch player. Unfortunately for Shevchenko, de Jong clinched the victory in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4, on a clay court, after an hour and 25 minutes of intense play.
During the match, Shevchenko served up two aces but struggled with three double faults and missed out on all three break point opportunities. De Jong's victorious run won't cease there, as he'll face off against Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who's currently ranked 25th in the world.
Despite the early exit, it's notable that Shevchenko earned a spot in the main draw of the Rome Masters through his successful qualifying rounds.
