After losing in the final to Facundo Díaz Acosta, the Chilean number one sent a message to trans-Andean supporters.
Nicolás Jarry’s (19th ATP) week in Buenos Aires was one of extremes. On the one hand, he played his best tennis so far this season and managed to reach the final by beating world number two Carlos Alcaraz. On the other hand, he had to deal with the public against him during the four matches he played at the Argentina Open.
This hostile climate was also mentioned throughout the week both by the press and by the player himself. An unfavorable scenario that he was able to reverse at any time, but which he also hopes to change in the near future.
Indeed, a few minutes after losing in the final against the Argentinian Facundo Díaz Acosta (59th), the Chilean sent a conciliatory message to the trans-Andeans. “It’s not easy to play here. I wasn’t a favorite in any match. I had to bank on that and it makes this sport even more special. In two weeks, I will have the public in my favor. It’s nice to play in these environments. I hope next year there will be more favoritism here” he mentioned during a press conference.
This sentence continues in line with what the Chilean expressed during the awards ceremony. “Thanks to youthe whole audience, which makes it more entertaining. It makes things more exciting and thanks to you we can be here playing and experiencing the beautiful sport of tennis. Thanks to everyone who came and a little more to the Chileans who supported me all week “, Guillermo Vilas of the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club spoke on the court.
The calendar continues without a break for the Chilean, since tomorrow Tuesday he will make his debut at the ATP in Rio de Janeiro against the German Yannick Hanfmann (56th). . He will not be the only national representative at the ATP 500, since Alejandro Tabilo (54th), Christian Garin (91st) and Tomás Barrios (120th) also entered directly to the main box.
After Brazil, will come the Chile Open, the most important tournament in the country and where the four national representatives will also be present. It has been held in San Carlos de Apoquindo since February 26.
