Roma Masters lost in a bad match, Rooney lost to Mutai in three sets to stop in the third round

On May 11, Hog Rune fought in three sets in the third round of the ATP Masters Roma, and finally lost to French player Corentan Mute 4-7 in the tiebreak of the third set, and was eliminated with a total score of 5-7, 7-5, 6-7 (4). The 3-hour and 46-minute marathon showdown was staged under the scorching sun in Italy, but the Danish star failed to withstand the pressure and stopped the event.

Roneben, now ranked tenth in the world, is regarded as the absolute favorite of this game, while his opponent Mutai is only ranked 83rd. However, Mutai showed strong bottom line stalemate in the first set and won the first goal 7-5. In the second set, Route gradually recovered his form, and scored a set 7-5, dragging the game into the final set. The battle for the decisive set was also stalemate, and finally entered the tiebreak. Rooney's condition was fluctuating in this game, and he made up as many as 8 double mistakes in the game, which became a key factor in the loss. Although he is known for his ability to tie the seventh game, he failed to continue his magic this time and lost 4-7, regretting that he missed an important warm-up opportunity before the French Open.

With this loss, Rooney ended his Rome Masters early, while Mutai won the top ten in his career, making an upset. This fierce battle has also become one of the longest duels in this competition so far.
