EASTBOURNE. Continue the march of Andreas Seppi in the main draw of the ATP 250 in Eastbourne, a tournament on grass won by the Caldarese in 2011.
The South Tyrolean, after his winning debut against Nishioka, repeated himself in the round of 16 against the 22-year-old Finn Emil Ruusuvuori, 79 of the ranking, beaten with a score of 6-2, 6-3.
Seppi thus enters the quarter-finals, where he will face the Australian Max Purcell, 283 in the world, who entered the draw, just like the 37-year-old from Caldaro, as a lucky loser.
