Mariano Navone shouts an extensive “yes” to close the game. It was not one more celebration: it happens that after Thursday’s rain, this Friday the Argentine went back to the court and signed an important 7-5 victory, 6-4 against the American Learner Tien, star of the #NextGenatp, in the BNP Paribas Open

For the Argentine, the Triunfo Ras 1h 54 ‘, is his first in an ATP Masters 1000 on a hard track, and just the second in this level of tournaments, after breaking a streak of six losses in this category since he defeated the No. 46 Popyrin in R2 in Madrid last year.
