The world number 87 beat the Argentinian in straight sets. In the round of 16, he will face the German Yannick Hanfmann (153rd).
The best racquet in the country is still alive in the Chile Open main draw. Without showing the best version of his serve, but with a large number of variations in his game, the number 87 of the planet left Diego Schwartzman on the road and ensured his presence among the eight best of the ATP in Santiago. 6-4, 4-6 and 7-6(2) was Nicolás Jarry’s score.
It was a very tight game, with an audience that was in the Davis Cup mood and where the capitalist went from less to more. He started with doubts and his serve failed to give him a big advantage. In fact, they suffered a break at 1-1 and finished the first set with 53% of first services connected . That’s why the set was only defined when the Argentine served 4-5.
There was the best moment from a Jarry who played deep and opted to look for different ways to close the points. But the “Little” resisted, so much so that the Chilean needed four set plays to close the first round.
And that feeling that the match had no owner carried over into the second round. It didn’t matter that the Argentinian was visibly annoyed by the state of the court and his efficiency on serve (despite the fact that the whole game had more than 65% in the first serves s). He even reconnected the first break and went back up to the scoreboard.
Enough difference to secure the second set. It was the only break in the round and the last. Schwartzman contained Jarry’s attacks to clench his fist and stretch his emotions in San Carlos de Apoquindo. Everything was going to be defined dramatically.
And this word was present throughout the epilogue. First for the breakaway from the former top ten then for the punishment that Jarry executed in the sixth game of the set . It was a one-on-one battle, where the differences were minimal.
This is why the duel reached the tie-break. An instance without margin and where the national tennis player showed his best match. It was a course where everything came out and where he surpassed the “Little” in all facets of the game. Stadium chanting its name and a 7-2 final . With the drama, Jarry is in the quarter-finals. Now Hanfmann is waiting for him.
