Francisco Cerundolo: "This is a very difficult time"

Francisco Cerundolo is going through a major confidence crisis. The 22nd best player in the world cannot find the right rhythm since the beginning of the season. In five tournaments played, the Argentine won only one small match, in the first round of the Australian Open against Dane Sweeny, 194th in the world.

A negative spiral necessarily difficult to manage for any tennis player. And his new poor performance in the first round on the clay of Buenos Aires, Wednesday in front of his audience, did not necessarily fix anything. Cerundolo expressed his distress on X in the wake of his loss to his compatriot Facundo Diaz Acosta.

Cerundolo: "This is a very difficult, very sad period. I want to thank everyone who supports me and pushes me to move forward. Because in good times, everyone is there, but when you start losing a bit, it seems to be less the case. Let's keep working."
