The Chilean lost to the Belgian Kimmer Coppejans (339th) by partials of 7-6 (9), 4-6 and 7-6 (5) in 2 hours and 58 minutes of play. In any case, the sensations after the tournament are positive, since this Monday he will rise to 121st place in the world, remaining 80 points from the top 100.
End of course for Nicolás Jarry (129th) in Portugal. In a hard-fought match that lasted nearly three hours, the Chilean lost to the Belgian Kimmer Coppejans (339th) by partials of 7-6 (9), 4-6 and 7-6 (5) saying goodbye to Oeiras in the semi-finals of the tournament.
A score that inevitably brings us to remember what the Santiagonese did in the quarter-final duel where he beat Kyrian Jacquet by the same score by which he lost today. A tonic in Jarry’s game throughout his career . Long sets, with powerful serves and returns that rarely do damage, playing slowly to reach the moments in the game where there is no margin.
A formula that often brings him joy, but this time left him priceless. He did it again in the third set tiebreaker, but now he couldn’t overcome the 0-4 he faced. Unlike the duel in the semi-finals where he turned 3-6, now the Chilean ended up falling 5-7 in the final chapter of the game .
This way Jerrye fired for the fourth time in the semi-finals of a tournament this season , as happened in Mexico City, San Luis de Potosí and Aix-En-Provence. Reaching a singles final remains one of the things to do for the Chilean in 2022.
In any case, the feelings in Portugal are good, for tennis and for the numbers. With his performance in Oeiras, Nicolás will climb to 121st place in the world rankings remaining only 80 points away from being able to reach the Top 100. This week, he added 29 units to his account.
Now Jarry continues his European clay tour (he was taken off the court due to hip discomfort) at Challenger 80 in Lüdenscheid, Germany. No less a challenge for the former 60 in the world, who defends the final of the German event .
