Francisco Comesaña gave the only joy of the day to Argentine tennis at the US Open. The tennis player born in Mar del Plata won against local Alex Michelsen in the first round and confirmed his great moment in the circuit.

Comesaña (54th in the ATP ranking) overcame a bad start and defeated his rival (32nd) by 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 and 6-4. His next match will be against British player Cameron Norrie.

The player from Mar del Plata is living his best professional moment and this was reflected in the ATP ranking, where last week he rose 17 places to reach 54th place, the most important of his career.

After reaching the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Masters 1000, the most important result of his career, he seeks to advance in the last Grand Slam tournament of the year and arrive in the best way to the Davis Cup series against the Netherlands.

Meanwhile, the other two Argentines who participated in Monday's match were eliminated: Sebastián Báez (39th) lost to South African Lloyd Harris (353rd) by 6-3, 7-5 and 6-4, while Federico Gómez (127th) struggled but could not beat British player Jack Draper (5th) and fell by 6-4, 7-5, 6-7 and 6-2.
