Sensation of the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati, Terence Atmane finds himself in a situation comparable to that of Loïs Boisson after Roland-Garros.
The amazing route of Terence Atmane, winner in Cincinnati by Joao Fonseca, Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune, and opposed this Saturday evening to the world n ° 1 Jannik Sinner, makes you want to see it at the US Open. With his confidence and his style of play, the French could give some cold sweats to his potential opponents …
Yes but here, to date, nothing says that the Habs can be on the courts of Flushing Meadows. Terence Atmane is thus in a situation comparable to Loïs Boisson after Roland-Garros. His leap in the classification (he will be in the first 70 after the tournament) arrives too late for him to directly integrate the main draw of the following Grand Colem tournament.
Loïs Boisson had to go through the qualifications in Wimbledon. For Terence Atmane, it is even more complicated since it is not even certain to be able to align yourself with the “qualifiers”, where its classification would give it a seeded status.
Atmane absent to the US Open?
In New York, the battle begins on Monday. But Terence Atmane is still in the running in Cincinnati, where he must therefore face Jannik Sinner this Saturday. In the event of a colossal feat, the Frenchman will play the final in Ohio, which is scheduled … Monday. With the reform of the Masters 1000 calendar, no one had imagined that one qualified reached the final.
Unless he inherits at the last minute of a Wild-Card for the main draw, which is improbable, Terence Atmane will have to zap the qualifications of the US Open, or present themselves in an advanced state of fatigue. The back of the medal.
