A great achievement for Idan Leshem, who today (Monday) advanced to the main draw of the ATP250 WATERGEN OPEN tournament, at the 'Expo' hall, in Tel Aviv, after defeating the Italian Luca Nardi (151 in the world) in the second qualifying round with a score of 4:6, 6:7 (4) .

Go there, it will be the second time of his career in the ATP main draw, after he also did it in 2017 in Washington, where he lost to Marcus Bagdatis.

The first set was close, with everyone maintaining their service games until the ninth where the 25-year-old Israeli, ranked 446 in the world, was able to break and eventually take the set.

In the second set, Leshem found himself behind 3:0, but managed to return to the game and equalize to 5:5, when in the end the set went to a tiebreaker, where with the help of the minority of the audience, which consists mainly of families, he was able to win and achieve the great victory.

Serbian Novak Djokovic, the big star who came to the tournament, is expected to land today, when he is supposed to play the doubles match on Wednesday, together with Yoni Ehrlich, which is supposed to be his retirement tournament, when he will go up to play singles on Thursday.

Later in the day, Yishai Oliel, who received a free ticket to the tournament and is ranked 381st in the world, will participate in the first round of the main draw, against the German Peter Goivcik (158th in the world).
