Nardi Beats Goffin On Tour Grass Debut In ‘s-Hertogenbosch
Lexus ATP Head2Head: Italian tennis player Luca Nardi’s tour-level debut on grass proved to be worth the wait on Monday at the Libema Open in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands. After rain forced the start of the Day 1 schedule at the ATP 250 to be delayed, the Italian downed two-time Wimbledon quarter-finalist David Goffin 7-5, 7-5 in an absorbing first-round clash.
Nardi handled the blustery and damp conditions well on the Dutch grass, wrapping his victory against the former World No. 7 in two hours and five minutes.
“For sure, the biggest challenge for me was to adapt on grass, because I didn’t play too many matches on grass,” said Nardi in his on-court interview as quoted by the ATP Tour.
