Video: Gimeno-Traver Carves a Work of Art at Monte-Carlo



Spain’s Daniel Gimeno-Traver fell to Pablo Cuevas after a three hour and 20-minute battle on Tuesday in Monte-Carlo, but the 30-year-old put his own signature spin rather brilliantly on this game point in the seventh game of the second set.

The art of deception and the glory of spin were used to the fullest effect on this point. If you watch the movement of Cuevas closely you can see him take about five or six steps in the wrong direction before he realized that he had been bamboozled by a wicked and cruel spin shot (and how about that carve by the Spaniard?).

Cuevas shook it off and hung in there to notch the 7-6(2), 6-7(2), 7-6(4) victory. The Uruguayan advances to face 10th-seeded Milos Raonic in the second round.
