Tennis player Nicolas Jarry accidentally hit a ball reacher and then came over to check on her and talk to her

The Chilean Nicolás Jarry (23rd in the ATP Rankings) had a night to forget at the Master 1000 in Miami, since in addition to being eliminated in the quarterfinals against the Russian Daniil Medvedev (number 4) by 6-2 and 7- 6 (9-7), accidentally hit a ball girl (or ball catcher). The trans-Andean man approached the young woman to see her condition and the images went viral on social networks.

It was in the warm-up of the match while he was rallying with the Russian that Jarry inadvertently and also unluckily hit the girl, who was just running in the direction of the ball, precisely, to look for another one that was on the floor. The girl held her face and was assisted by an assistant. The event shocked some viewers.

The Chilean immediately ran out and approached the young woman, whom he asked how she was doing. He only left after seeing her in good condition and after the same girl told him that she was fine and that he should stay calm. Then Jarry returned and exchanged a smile with Medvedev.

Already in the match, the Russian was too much for the Chilean, despite the fact that he is going through a great moment in his career. The Moscow-born player was superior in the first set, in which he won in 32 minutes. In the second set Jarry reacted and gave some good points that raised his fans in the stands of the Hard Rock Stadium, although that was not enough.

Medvedev continued without showing doubts, like a concrete wall without a single crack in its surface. But Jarry increased his performance from the back of the court, once again exhibited great strength on his serve, limited his unforced errors and made it clear that he would not leave Miami without putting up a good fight. After the match that lasted one hour and 40 minutes, the Russian wrote on the camera “it was not easy”, in the traditional rubric that is asked of the winners.

“It was a match that I would have liked to play the way I finished in the last games of the second set,” Jarry said after the match. Although he admitted that “I am happy with the whole week, what the matches were like and the progress since the first round. To continue on this path, which has me very well and I am very happy with all the work.”

Despite the elimination, Jarry equaled his best result in a 1,000 Masters in Miami, since until now he had only reached the quarterfinals of tournaments of this caliber on one occasion (Shanghai, 2023).

What’s next for Medvedev marks that he will face the Italian Jannik Sinner (number 3 in the world) in the semifinals, the player with the most outstanding statistics of the season (20-1 record) and who beat the Czech Tomas Machac by 6 -4 and 6-2, in the other duel for the quarterfinals.

Jarry, for his part, a finalist this year at the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires (he lost to Facundo Díaz Acosta) will begin training for the activity in Europe on clay that will culminate in Roland Garros, the second of the four Grand Slam of the year.
