ATP Marrakech, Darderi wins derby against Bellucci and flies to the quarterfinals

Milan, 1 April. (LaPresse) – Luciano Darderi picks up where he left off at the “Grand Prix Hassan II”, the ATP 250 on clay taking place in Marrakech. The world no.19, reigning champion and no.1 seed, made his debut by beating Mattia Bellucci (no.73) with a score of 6-4, 6-2. In 2023, the Lombard had won the only previous match played in the Australian Open qualifiers, but on his favorite surface the native of Villa Gesell – who also won the title at the ATP 250 in Santiago de Chile on the crushed brick in 2026 – brought out all his best qualities.
