-
Intro:
Fifth seed Dmitry Tursonov humiliated 6-0, 6-0 by unseeded Portuguese Rui Machado at the Portugal Open on Tuesday.
Script:
Rui Machado is ranked 243rd in the world.
Dmitry Tursunov is 32nd.
But Machado is a Lisbon native and he knows the clay courts of Oeiras and that is why he was given a wildcard to the Portugal Open.
He proved worthy of it.
After winning the first set 6-0, Machado continued to dominate in the second.
Tursunov is a veteran of the tour but it is unlikely that he has met such a surprise opponent - Machado hit 52 winners out of a possible 70 points.
Tursunov's last shot may have summed up his mindset but Machado thoroughly deserved this dominant victory.
The locals will hope he can continue his fine form against Spain's Daniel Gimeno-Traver in the last 16.
