Camilo Ugo Carabelli has just finished his historic Roland Garros as if contact sport is his thing and not tennis. The 22-year-old Argentine has marks on his face. Some he covers with a small Band-Aid. Others were still in sight and exposed in his second match at the French Open where he fell to Félix Auger Aliassime (9) 6-0, 6-3, 6-4.
“After the game one day I fainted at the hotel, I felt very tired. I’ve experienced extreme stress, I haven’t played five sets yet. I have never experienced anything like this, in the crowd. I think, that’s what happened, I did some heart tests the next day and they were all fine. I will study more later when I return to Buenos Aires “, said the Argentine”, recounting the pressure he felt after beating Russian number 41 in the world Aslán Karátsev in five sets of 6-3, 4-6 , 6-4, 3-6 and 7-6 (5).
“I think it was a peak of stress and I passed out … and I got up like that,” said the 22-year-old from Buenos Aires and showed his marks on his face.
Fainting after his debut at the Paris Open, the tennis player fell on his shoulder. Although he explained that his shoulder didn’t bother him in this Wednesday’s match against the top ten Canadians. “What affected me in the first set was I was a bit dizzybut I just scratched my shoulder, I had a bandage that the doctors put on me and I didn’t feel anything “.
Although the situation about the blow he suffered to his head caused him to play in an uncomfortable and dangerous position: “I think it kind of affected me – the fall – because I was a little dizzy at first, but then is no longer. Obviously, losing a set with a top ten will work against you “.
What happened against Félix …. “I think it was a bit windy, I didn’t play much because he made me play badly, he asked me for my higher level and I didn’t. A good day. He served very well and he asked me. This is the first time I will play against a top ten and next time I will hopefully be better prepared “.
In one of the corners is Guillermo Coria: “Guille was there, maybe, very well, they see something else that’s easy for them to do but for us, the normal ones, it’s not that easy. But I love you he .is going to me, I feel supportive of us all.For me it is a great motivation.
“I’ll look at what’s wrong with my face. I’ll go to the doctor if he recommends that I continue playing next week or, maybe, stop one so I can recover”
