The third national racket immediately tried to recover the serve and had two chances to achieve it in the second Gamealthough Carballés ended up defending with everything and managed to confirm the point in his favor and go up 2-0 on the scoreboard.

In the second quarter, Jarry was again put at a disadvantage in game five where the Spaniard used his first chance to deliver another blow to the national tennis player, taking a 3-2 lead.

It should be remembered that the ATP 250 in Naples began with a series of embarrassing events that developed from the rankings, from where Nicolás Jarry had to start.

At this stage, the players complained, indicating that the fields were fractured in different parts, affecting the rebound of the balls, for which the organization had to transfer the duels to a club far from the place of origin.

“Due to problems related to the material used for the construction of the pitches by a leading company in the sector in the world, therefore for reasons beyond the organisation, it was necessary to postpone the qualifying matches”, they explained from the contest on their social networks.

Thus, they had to wait until the end of the ATP in Florence to transfer the same file to the Naples Tennis Club and thus replace the defective one.
