In the duel that captured all eyes in the round of 16 of the Argentina Opena solid Nicholas Jarry (21st) coming from behind to win the Stan Wawrinka (60°) and seal their advance to the quarterfinals of the ATP in Buenos Aires 2024.
After two hours and 54 minutes of the game, the No. 1 racket from Chile beat the Swiss Guillermo Vilas at the Central Court, but it was not easy at all. In a back-and-forth clash, the former 3rd in the world began by winning a adjusted first set by 7-6 (3) and in the second, Nico appeared.
With an overwhelming rhythm, the ‘Prince’ he was left with a clear 6-2 in 45 minutes and stretched the match to the third set, which had the trans-Andean public – who botched the Chilean in moments – lit up until the end.
Showing good weapons with his serve, ‘Nico’ managed to make ‘Stan The Man’ sweat, who showed off his experience under pressure to get out of trouble and respond, clearly exhausted. However, the tennis player with the best Latin American ranking still had things to say and, above all, mistakes to keep quiet.
The final set, not suitable for the faint of heart, took its sentence to the tiebreak, again, back and forth.
Facing the tension, Nicolás Jarry pulled out a fantastic serve from his repertoire and won 6-7(3), 6-2 and 7-6(5) Stan Wawrinka to qualify in Buenos Aires and face the local team in the quarterfinals Tomas Etcheverry(27°).
