The current third racquet in the United States has overcome adversity to establish itself as one of the best in North America.
Nicolas Jarry makes international tennis history. The national athlete achieved an unprecedented career best by participating in the semi-finals of a Masters 1000 in Rome for the first time. after his return in the match against the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas champion in Monte Carlo and finalist in Barcelona, 3-6, 7-5 and 6-4.
This victory gave him the possibility of facing Tommy Paul to reach the final. But who is it? The tennis player is one of the great figures of the United States. The current 27-year-old American third racket is one of the examples of tennis players who managed to get in shape at an older age than expected. .
His sporting beginnings, as in many other cases, are linked to university competitions. It was linked to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), an organization dedicated to the administration of intercollegiate athletic activities, part of the University of Georgia. This instance allowed him to mature, add competitive experience and delay the jump to professionalism in order to improve his physique and mentality. .
Of course, this progression was halted once he won the Roland Garros Junior title in 2015, leading to him receiving a sponsorship offer from Nike and, shortly after being taken over by Roger Federer’s representation agency, Team 8 .
This led him to take the plunge and start competing on the ATP Challenger Tour in 2016, when he found himself faced with a sudden change that shook him. He ended up realizing in a bad way that he was not ready to compete with more experienced and physically developed rivals. Thus, its name was diluted.
In any case, there was a chance that he took advantage of. TAfter entering the top 100 in the rankings, he contacted coach Brad Stine. who had previously managed Daniil Medvedev and Kevin Anderson, among others, to offer him full-time work.
With the help of his new coach, he achieved an improvement in his game which allowed him to position himself in the top 20 in the world and now fight for the title of the Masters 100 in Rome against Nicolás Jarry.

After his victory against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Jarry commented on his feelings during the match and what he hoped to carry forward into the semi-final.
