Nicolas Jarry (28th in the ATP ranking) was unable to continue his winning streak . The Chilean fell to the Russian Alibek Kachmazov (252nd) and was unable to qualify for the semi-finals of the ATP 250 in Chengdu, by partials of 6-3 and 6-4.
Jaime Fillol’s grandson had just come out of the hole. Facing the Slovak Lukas Klein (127th), the second national racket managed to obtain his first singles victory after four months and three days It was an intense and understandable celebration, as it reflected the complex moment he had to go through due to vestibular neuritis that seriously affected his balance and coordination.
This victory was important to leave behind his lackluster steps at the Olympic Games and the Davis Cup final, for example. However, despite ending a bad streak, he could not prolong the joys.
Jarry’s dull match
Jarry suffered a tough straight-set loss to Kachmazov in an hour and 33 minutes. He looked uncomfortable, far from his best.
The Russian was convinced from the beginning and came out to face the prince. He anticipated that the match would not be easy for the national team after creating a break option. He showed his weapons from the beginning, even if he only realized them in the eighth, to lead his victory and win the first set 6-3.
Kachmazov gained confidence. The Chilean, for his part, was unable to counteract the solidity of his rival, who tipped the balance in his favor, managing to take advantage of two of the six break opportunities he had throughout the match. After good executions, he broke in the ninth game, consolidating his great performance and winning the second set 6-4 and the match. This is the first victory of his career against an opponent from the top 50.
Now, the Soviet, who came through the qualifiers, will have to face Lorenzo Musetti (19th) in the round of the best four. The Italian beat Adrian Mannarino (46th) and is the big favorite to win the competition.
Jarry, for his part, will remain in China with the ATP 500 in Beijing in mind, which will be held between September 26 and October 2.
