Christian Garin is in the third round of Indian Wells: the Chilean clearly beats Nishioka

Christian Garin (99th ATP) secures his participation in the third round of Indian Wells after beat Yoshihito Nishioka (34th) 6-4 and 6-0 . Match which also increases the good feelings experienced by the Chilean in the Californian desert.

And it is that the best level of the “Tank” has reappeared. Very powerful from below and with a noticeable improvement in their services picked up wins with authority all week, as he started playing matches on Monday in qualifying.

Without going any further, he still doesn’t know what it’s like to lose a partial in Indian Wells, since his victories against Learner Tien (789th), Filip Misolic (146th) and Daniel Galán (89th) were for straight sets . For this reason, the merit of what has been achieved is even greater, especially if we consider that for this second round he did not arrive as a favorite.

In front of him was a tennis player who is living one of the best moments of his career (in February he reached 32 years in the world) and who has cement courts as his favorite surface. But all the paper offered was for naught. Despite the fact that it was difficult for the national team to break through in the first set, they always showed a more attacking, active and powerful style than their rival.

This long-awaited break came in the tenth game of the first set. Garin was 5-4 and just waiting for a penalty to close the set. And such was the pressure the Japanese could not resist. He lost the set and also the match, because after this blow he no longer appeared on court number five at Indian Wells Garden. At least don’t fight.

This, since what was done by the Asian was practically a testimony. He lowered the intensity, added suspicion and was very frustrated, to the point of throw the racket to the ground when there is still a chance of breaking in the first game of the second set . A very large window facing a tennis player who did not miss the opportunity to enter the match.

After that, Garin kept his game going and didn’t give Nishioka a chance to get back on the track, managing to take the round without giving up matches. Among the 32 best in Indian Wells, he is waiting for a rival to maintain the good feelings.
