For the Argentine, this was the sixth victory indoors this season with three defeats.
Professional qualities
Cerundolo has become a more versatile player over time, performing well even on hard courts, although he still struggles on grass. His serve has improved a bit, but sometimes it gives him more problems than his opponent. Francisco is excellent from the baseline, bringing even the most difficult shots back into play. He also adapts well to his opponent style, playing both aggressively and defensively.
