 PUBLICIDAD

Seven months had passed since the last time Juan Manuel Cerúndolo (Buenos Aires, 2001) won four matches in the same tournament, right from when he lifted his last title in September of last year. At that time, he was outside the top 200, but after his step in this Mutua Madrid Open, his name will be just fifteen steps away from the top 100. It is the clear progression of a man destined to follow in the footsteps of his brother Fran, albeit at a different pace. After coming through the qualifying rounds, sweeping past Auger-Aliassime and falling to Medvedev, the Argentine spoke with Punto de Break to provide a final analysis of this experience.

I imagine the best part of this week was your victory over Aliassime.

That day, I felt like I was playing very well, especially being very focused, making few errors with my serve. Félix is a beast on serve; it's nearly impossible to return; I managed to break him once with a bit of luck, and then I maintained my serve very well. I'd say that was the key.

And on clay, he's not as intimidating.

I knew he was more vulnerable on this surface, but he made the final here last year, he's someone with a lot of experience, and he has some powerful shots on the court. But yes, if there was a place where I could beat him, it was on clay. I had a lot of confidence for this match, and fortunately, it worked out.

How was it against Medvedev?

A different kind of match, a different type of opponent, and well, also a different result. He played a very complete match, was very focused; the truth is, he gave me few opportunities, although I tried with all I had.

We conclude with a curiosity. Why are you called 'The Computer'?

(Laughs) Some call me 'The Computer,' but normally they call me Juanma. This came about during the pandemic when we were locked down and playing FIFA among ourselves. Each of us had a nickname; they called Fede Coria 'The Mojarra,' Camilo Ugo was 'The Wizard,' and they called me 'The Computer' because I played as a '5' in midfield. It started there, and the nicknames stuck.
