Jarry remains intractable in France: he is already part of the first eight of the Challenger d’Aix-En-Provence

Nicolás Jarry (147th) continues to show his best tennis in the south of France. Today, he has won again and is already in the quarter-finals of the Challenger d’Aix-En-Provence. He achieves this after beating the local Corentin Moutet (130th) by 7-5 and 6-1 .

A victory that was conceived from the first set, since after having been able to devote himself in this partial complex, the match opened to the Chilean. With his service he was intractable and achieved 82% win percentages with his first serve giving even a single break chance in the entire game.

His rival, a 23-year-old Frenchman, could not cope with this regularity and ended up abandoning the match out of attitude. Thus, the Chilean played comfortable and loose, managing to easily overtake Moutet, winner of four challenger tournaments. He thus closed the match after 1h30 of play.

Jarry thus continues to add victories over the French brick dust, in a week in which he found great sensations and results, despite play just 130 meters above sea level .

From now on, the former world 38 will have to face another tennis player from the house, since his rival in the round of the best eight will be Alexandre Muller (212th) who has just overtaken Richard Gasquet (76th) , former world number seven and local star, by partials 6-2 and 6-4. A result that surprised France, since the 35-year-old was the big favorite of the tournament.

But the Latin entourage of Aix-en-Provence is not only made up of Jarry. The Peruvian, Juan Pablo Varillas (104th), is also still in competition and will play in the quarter-finals of the tournament against Grégoire Barrère (247th).

And the national celebrations were not heard only in France, since Tomás Barrios (145th) also celebrated this day. He did it in Brazil, where he competes in the Salvador de Bahía Challenger. In the round of 16, he beat the carioca tennis player Joao Reis da Silva (578th) .

With that, the Chilean expects a rival to play in the quarter-finals of the tournament that takes place on the Brazilian coast, signing a great week in which he returns to be in the top eight of a contest. The last time he achieved this was March 25 in the Santa Cruz Challenger II. Result which allows him to temporarily climb to 142nd place in the world.

Now he could face Gonzalo Lama, as he plays his way to the quarter-finals against Gustavo Heide. A possible duel of Chileans excites the followers of national tennis.
