Daniel Dutra, lucky loser, wins after 3 hours in Floripa

On a day full of Brazilian tennis players at the Challenger in Florianópolis, Daniel Dutra, who came on as a substitute, had a battle on clay. The post Daniel Dutra, lucky loser, wins after 3 hours in Floripa appeared first on Olimpíada Todo Dia.

From substitute to epic victory. Daniel Dutra Silva is the ‘Lucky Loser’ in the Florianópolis Challenger, but he achieved the most fantastic victory among the Brazilians who made it past the first round. Immediately after 3 hours and 14 minutes of struggle and dedication, he turned around to beat the Argentine “Alternato”, Gonzalo Villanueva by 2 sets to 1. Furthermore, on Tuesday (2) he achieved three more national victories in the singles round and one double.

Translating ‘Lucky Loser’ literally means ‘lucky loser’, a term used to designate a tennis player who is left waiting if someone else withdraws from the tournament. Thus, Daniel, who had lost in the second qualifying round to compatriot Paulo André Saraiva, was lucky enough to enter the main draw of the Challenger. In this way, in the first round on the clay court of Santa Catarina, he faced an ‘alternate’, that is, another substitute.

It was the match that closed the group, but it lasted longer than one could have imagined. Daniel is number 455 in the ATP ranking and was already at 207 two years ago. The Brazilian faced the Argentine Gonzalo Villanueva, 434th in the same ranking. Given the proximity, above all, a balanced match was to be expected. However, the 4/6, 7/6(5) and 6/2 victory was enough to make everyone jump out of their seats. Now Daniel will face another compatriot, João Reis da Silva, who the day before had already overcome Pedro Sakamoto, another Brazilian.

More results from the Brazilians

In addition to Daniel, three other Brazilians advanced to the second round during the day of singles competition. Mateo Reyes, fresh from qualifying, beat the Argentinian second seed of the tournament, Francisco Comesana, by 2 sets to 0 (6/4 and 6/3). Matheus Pucinelli beat the eighth seed, the Canadian Liam Draxl, 2 sets to 0 (6/4 and 6/1). Finally, Orlando Luz faced the Spaniard Carlos Sanchez Jover and emerged victorious, 2 sets to 0 (7/5 and 6/1).

However, the Brazilians did not live by victories alone. Paulo André Saraiva, who had beaten Daniel, suffered a defeat as harsh as his compatriot’s victory. He faced 6th seed Geoffrey Blancaneaux in a 3:27 battle. The Frenchman won by 2 sets to 1 (4/6, 7/6(4) and 6/3).

Gustavo Ribeiro also lost against a Frenchman, Enzo Couacaud, by 2 sets to 0 (6/4 and 6/2). Pedro Boscardin suffered a defeat against Israeli Daniel Cukierman, 2-0 (6/0 and 6/3). Eduardo Ribeiro lost to the Bolivian Juan Carlos Prado, 2-0 (7/6(2) and 6/2). Gabriel Roveri could not resist the Argentine Lorenzo Rodriguez, 2-0 (6/4 and 6/2). Finally, Nicolas Zanellato also had an Argentine as his executioner, Camilo Carabelli, 2 to 1 (6/1, 6(6)/7 and 6/0).

Double

Two matches opened the doubles round and involved three Brazilian partnerships. Only Orlando Luz/João Reis da Silva advanced, beating compatriots Joaquim Almeida/Daniel Rabelo. 2 sets to 0 (7/5 and 6/1).
