Karlsruhe Ch F: Jozef Kovalik [3] def. Camilo Ugo Carabelli [1] 6-3, 7-6(2) Match Stats
📸 ATP official website
C. Ugo Carabelli had his fair moments in both sets, but J. Kovalik's smart attacking led to the former running out of options as this match progressed. Even though the former tried to take advantage of the latter's errors under pressure, the errors afterward did not help, allowing the Slovak third seed to get back on track that resulted in his dominance during the second set tie-breaker. As a result, J. Kovalik created 8 break points compared to C. Ugo Carabelli's 5, even though he only converted 38% of them than the latter's 40%.
Furthermore, J. Kovalik also appeared more solid on serve. Even though C. Ugo Carabelli scored 5 aces than the Slovak's 3, the latter's follow-up accuracy helped him to win 15% more points from his first serves at 78% to manage some problems coming his way. Besides, there were not much differences between both players in the second serves, but even though J. Kovalik double-faulted once, he had the slight edge from the second serves by 1% thanks to his accuracy.
This marked J. Kovalik's third Challenger title of the year after winning the Croatian double (in Zadar and Split) earlier this year, propelling his rank to 102 live as he went closer to returning to the Top 100. His next tournament would be the Braunschweig Challenger, where an all-Slovak clash awaits between him and Lukas Klein in the first round. On the other hand, C. Ugo Carabelli will face Jiri Vesely in the first round of the Iasi Challenger, which could also be an interesting follow as this season continues.
I can't believe Kovalik, lucky loser, is in R3. I saw his first quali match against Benoit Paire, and it was a disaster on both sides. I was sure he wouldn't last one round against a serious player, and now he actually managed to get to R3??

Puchar Świata w narciarstwie alpejskim, slalom gigant w Are:
India’s Yuki Bhambri registered a sensational comeback over Slovakia’s Jozef Kovalik in the opening round of the Tata Open Maharashtra tennis tournament here on Monday.
The 29-year-old Indian, who made a straight main draw debut in South Asia’s only ATP 250 meet, won his opener 6-7 (10), 6-2, 7-5.
After losing the first set in a tough match, the former junior world number one, who recently…
As C. Ugo Carabelli tried to become more aggressive, things appeared more tricky for J. Kovalik as evident in the first few games of this set. To start, the third seed scored a forehand winner 2 points into the first game as he broke to 1-0 after outhitting C. Ugo Carabelli's forehand only for the latter to do the same to the former to break back 1-1. The moment did not last too long as J. Kovalik broke back again (2-1) thanks to his working volley pass in response to the Argentinean first seed's drop shot to create his latest break point there, but C. Ugo Carabelli outhit his forehand again to break back yet again 2-2.
Fast-forward to the tenth game, there was an exciting point at the net which ended in J. Kovalik's failed lob, and another forehand error from the Slovak several points later secured C. Ugo Carabelli's set point. However, the serving came good, and J. Kovalik secured a massive hold to 5-5, but the tie-breaker became inevitable with 2 service game holds succeeding this. At the end of the day, C. Ugo Carabelli had some erratic service games, including a double fault to start the tie-break, which, to his dismay, prompted him to curse that also caused the point penalty afterward to 3-0. Everything went downhill from here, and safe to say that J. Kovalik controlled most of the tie-breaker, taking the second set 7-6(2) after the Argentinean double-faulted on match point to secure his third Challenger title for this year.
Benoit Paire has come up with one of the shots of the year in a first-round victory at the Swiss Open.
The Frenchman sliced a backhand drop shot with so much spin that it bounced back over to his side of the net in a 6-3 7-6 (7-2) win over Slovakia’s Jozef Kovalik.
Australia’s Marc Polmans joined Paire in the second round after beating Switzerland’s Sandro Ehrat in straight sets, 7-5 6-3.
