The national tennis player increased his current account by more than 70 million pesos, after his spectacular victory over Grigor Dimitrov (33rd) in the final of the European tournament.
Nicolás Jarry is having a spectacular week in Geneva. The Chilean tennis player who ranks 54th in the ATP ranking not only won the Swiss tournament but also significantly increased his checking account balance.
The one who was born in Santiago had insured just over 53 thousand dollars, the equivalent of 42 million pesos just to dispute the definition. But this amount almost doubled after beating Grigor Dimitrov (33rd) this Saturday, since the prize he won as champion amounts to $91,858 (73,486,400 pesos).
Sums that add to your general earnings, which this year represent almost half a million dollars and which add to the total of his career the considerable figure of 2,892,854 dollars (2,314,283,200 pesos). That is, it was close to breaking the US$3 million barrier.
A complicated opponent
Another milestone Jarry will take after winning his second ATP tournament this year (the other was achieved in Santiago) is that will rise to 35th place in the world rankings and with this he will get his best position of his career, surpassing position 38
But things weren’t easy for the Chilean, as he had a big rival up front and his motivation was high, as Dimitrov had reached this stage by beating the top ten Taylor Fritz (9th) . “It will be a match against a player who varies the effects a lot. I have to be very firm because of all the changes it brings, the different effects,” said the national athlete, who added: “I have to try to keep serving like I used to, very focused and try to put in some good returns to give myself chances. ”.
This new great result is added to the two other great performances he has achieved this week. The first of these was to beat in the quarter-finals a tennis player who is in the top five and who was a finalist at Roland-Garros and at the US Open last year, the Norwegian Casper Ruud (4th) .
The second and perhaps the tastiest for him, It was to take revenge on the German Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals, since four years ago he had beaten him in the final of this same tournament. and during the awards ceremony, he said to her: “Today you deserved more than me to win this title. You will be a great champion, I have no doubt about it”. So that was it. Nicolás Jarry realized the dream of being champion in Geneva.
