On Saturday, there was a significant upset at Arantxa Sanchez Stadium! In the second round of the Madrid Open, Thiago Monteiro (118) upset Stefanos Tsitsipas, ranked seventh in the world, with a 6-4, 6-4 victory.
The 29-year-old Brazilian, though, wasn’t content to stop there.
He’s already stated that he hopes to be in the Top 50 and win a title in the coming days.
But he has one more wish for his career that he hopes to realize! In order to face Rafael Nadal a few times during his career, Thiago Monteiro would prefer that the player continue to play for a few more years.
Montero has never engaged in a competitive match against the “Big Three,” despite having previously practiced with the tennis legends.
It was asked of the Brazilian in a recent interview with Punto de Break to think about that a little. 2011 was Monteiro’s debut as a professional.
How does it feel to have never played a competitive match against these tennis legends?
