Une expérience incroyable: Zizou Bergs va affronter Rafael Nadal au Masters de Rome

Zizou Bergs a obtenu sa place dans le tableau final du tournoi de tennis ATP Masters 1000 de Rome, mardi en Italie. Bergs, 108e mondial et 11e tête de série des qualifications, a battu le Chinois Juncheng Shang (ATP 105/N.18) au 2e et dernier tour du tableau qualificatif. Sur la terre battue italienne, il s’est imposé 6-4, 7-6 (7/5) en 2 heures et 11 minutes.Au lendemain d’une victoire en trois sets et plus de deux heures contre l’Américain Patrick Kypson (ATP 150), Bergs a réussi à dominer son adversaire de 19 ans. Pour cela, le N.1 belge a réussi un break dès le tout premier jeu du match et conservé cette avance dans le premier set. Dans le second set, il a à nouveau pris rapidement un break d’avance (2-1) avant de perdre son service (3-3). Dans le jeu décisif, il a remonté alors qu’il était mené 2/5.

Au premier tour du tableau final, Zizou Bergs va finalement devoir relever un défi colossal, puisqu’il affrontera l’Espagnol Rafael Nadal, qui bénéficie de son classement protégé malgré son 305e rang actuel. Zizou Bergs sera le seul Belge dans le tableau final du tournoi romain, le dernier Masters 1000 avant Roland-Garros. David Goffin (ATP 114) a fait l’impasse sur celui-ci, après avoir déclaré forfait pour le Challenger d’Aix-en-Provence la semaine dernière.

Il y a deux semaines, Bergs (24 ans) avait été éliminé au 1er tour du Masters 1000 de Madrid. Il avait bénéficié d’une invitation après sa victoire au Challenger 75 de Tallahassee en Floride, et la finale perdue à Sarasota une semaine plus tôt, toujours en Floride.
