Andy Murray Progresses, While Del Porto Strikes Injury in Rome Masters
Andy Murray has made it to the 2nd round of the Rome Masters. Juan Martin Del Porto, his opponent, ended play in the deciding 3rd set due to back injury. The Argentinian had just been broken to go 1-0 down, when he realized his back was giving him problems and he could not carry on with the match.
It was no doubt Del Porto was in serious pain and while he was close to tears, he managed to keep his cool. 5 min after treatment from his trainer, he admitted defeat. Del Porto, rank no. 17th in the world, took the 1st set 7-5, while Murray made a comeback in the 2nd set winning 6-4.
