Italian Luciano Darderi advances to the quarter-finals of the Montreal Masters after defeating Nuno Borges 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 on Saturday.
Darderi’s win sets up a quarter-final against Brandon Nakashima, who finishes an interrupted match against Arthur Rinderknech. Nakashima wins 7-6 (7-4), 5-7, 7-5 on his first match point, with reports attributing Rinderknech’s result to 22 unforced errors.
Outlets also include a detail about Darderi having an espresso shot during a mid-match changeover, while others focus more directly on the match scores and the outcome of Nakashima’s comeback from an earlier, halted contest. Despite these emphasis differences, all accounts agree on the results and the quarter-final pairing in Montreal.
