“I had prepared the match well, fortunately they put us on a small pitch, which helped me because he likes to start from behind to start the rally. I'm happy with how I managed the whole third set and also the fourth, when I took the break. I won two good games, especially on my 15-40 serve. I played the tie-break very well, I'm very happy“, Zeppieri's words after the match which continues its journey at the Australian Open. The Italian, 133rd in the ATP ranking, will face Cameron Norrie, n. 19 of the seeding.
