Thomas Etcheverry38th in the ATP ranking, debuted with a victory in Montreal Masters 1000, his first victory on Canadian soil. The Argentine was just eliminated in the second round of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and had to play for almost three hours to defeat Nicolás Jarry, 24th in the world ranking. It was a very even match 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5) and 6-2.
The first set was really close, there were no breaks, and the advantage came only in the tiebreak, which went to the Argentine more accurately than the Chilean. The man from La Plata took advantage of the clean and jerk and was able to break, but Jarry was able to level the actions. They went to the tiebreaker again and this time it was for the Santiago de Chile winner.
The defining set was completely different from the first: Jarry made a lot of mistakes and Etcheverry did not forgive him, quickly taking a 4-0 lead. The Argentine gave him no room to think of a comeback and closed it out 6-2.
The Argentine now has to face nothing more and at least a top ten in the ranking: Andrey Rublev, who was eighth. He has no history against the Russian, this is the first time they have faced each other.
