The man from La Plata achieved the best ranking of his career after being a finalist in the Mexico Challenger.
Argentine tennis is in a moment of very marked generational transition. This year the legendary Juan Martín Del Potro said goodbye to professional activity and last year Leo Mayer also said goodbye; both Davis Cup winners in 2016.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel, and gradually the Top 100 is starting to be filled with young Argentine tennis players with a lot of potential and making their first weapons on the Challenger circuit of the South American continent.
In this case, it is Thomas Etcheverry to enter the group sector. The 22-year-old young man from La Plata had a good month of March, he established himself in the Challenger de Santiago and reaching the final in Mexico City was enough to get the best position so far in his short professional career.
Plus, he’s close to taking his place in the main draw of the Grand Slam best suited to Argentines, Roland Garros.
Currently, “Etche” is ranked at number 95.
