The Chilean tennis player beat Kyrian Jacquet 7-6(7), 4-6 and 7-6(6), overcoming three match points against in the definition of the last set. He thus manages to reach the round of the best four of a tournament for the fourth time this year.

Jarry won a Jarry match. One of those suffered, where he devastates with his serve and stretches the drama when he receives. One of those where finally everything is defined in a dying man dies in agony. But like so many times, the Chilean is the one who stood out in this dynamic. He beat Frenchman Kyrian Jacquet 7-6(7), 4-6 and 7-6(6) (287th) and qualified for the semi-finals of the Oeiras Challenger.

A hotly contested match where Nicolás Jarry (129th) could not sign any of the four break chances he had and where recorded 77% points won when connecting first serve, landing 17 aces in the match and only three double faults.

It was this power in the service that ended up giving him the victory, and if we analyze, in the only set where they managed to break it, he lost it. But when he’s been flawless with his serve, he’s always strained for definition.

It was in the third set, where it happened worse, yes. Jarry got off to a bad start and the French quickly won 6-3 in the tie-break . It was undoubtedly a moment of great tension, where the missed chance at 6-5 was very present, when He had three match points in his favor.

But he did not darken and managed to equalize the tie-break, with a dramatic point at net while trailing 5-6 . This comeback was too strong a blow for the Frenchman, who after seeing how Jarry had matched everything, could not overcome it. Nicolás clenched his fist and won the tie-break 8-6.

In this way, the Santiago settles for the fourth time this season in the semi-finals of a Challenger tournament reproducing the action he had in Mexico City, San Luis de Potosí and Aix-En-Provence.

He will seek his first final of the year against the Belgian Kimmer Coppejans, number 339 in the world . The duel will take place tomorrow at a time to be defined.
