In the previous round, it was thought that Ignacio Buse (438th) was going to have an impossible mission against Nicolás Jarry (20th) and that, after the defeat of Juan Pablo Varillas, Peru was not going to be able to overcome Chile in the Qualifiers of the Davis Cup 2024. Nothing could be further from reality. The young Peruvian, 19 years old, with a lot of technique and a great personality, came out determined to make history and he did it: he defeated a heavyweight in a stadium full of Chilean fans and tied the series (1-1). This Sunday, February 4, the action continues in Santiago and the team that will advance to the next phase is defined.

Buse, confident of achieving the most important victory of his life, came out to Central Court with great enthusiasm and quickly took the lead. Our compatriot was 2-0 up and the public and viewers were beginning to be surprised by his skill. Jarry reacted and went 3-2 down, but Ignacio hit the accelerator and defined the set by a score of 6-2.

The Peruvian team viewed the partial result with optimism and began to get excited. However, Nicolás, pushed by the encouragement of the public, came out with a different face in the second set and began to play like what he is: a top 20 tennis player in the world. The Chilean showed his category and had no problems winning 6-2. Only at the beginning did the youth put up resistance, but it didn’t last long.

The third set arrived and the hottest moment of the match. Buse regrouped and fought every point as if it were the last of his career. He lost and won, but in all of them he showed determination and heart. It was a very hard-fought set and nervousness took over the entire Central Court. It was 2-2, but from that moment the breaking point arrived: Ignacio took advantage and did not let the victory slip away. He finally won 6-3 and declared the key 1-1.

As soon as he achieved victory, Buse approached his colleagues from the Peruvian delegation to hug and celebrate in a very euphoric way. And it is the best victory of his career. He did it as a visitor, in front of thousands of fans who wanted to see him lose and in a prestigious tournament. Starting today, a new Ignacio is born, one who can beat the best tennis players in the world.
