After a Tuesday marked by the surprise eliminations of Diego Schwartzman and Arthur Fils, eighth seed, the action of the ATP Buenos Aires or “Argentina Open” continues. This Wednesday begins the third day which will see the debut of the country’s number 1 racket, Francisco Cerúndolo, at center stage. Furthermore, Tomás Etcheverry will also try to qualify for the quarter-finals.
In the first round, the tennis player Tomás Etcheverry will face the Colombian Daniel Elahí Galán and, as evening falls, Francisco Cerúndolo will do the same against his compatriot Facundo Díaz Acosta.
Cerúndolo will try to recover from the negative streak and give his best. Something he failed to do last week at the Córdoba Open when he fell on his debut against the Spaniard Jaume Munar (74th) 7-5 and 6-4.
“Córdoba was a pretty bad week, one of the worst of my career. I wasn’t in the game, things happen. “You don’t have to make a drama when things go wrong or feel like God when they go good,” the 25-year-old said.
Wednesday promises to end on a high note with the match between Stan Wawrinka, the Swiss winner of three Slams who will make his second appearance, and the Chilean Nicolás Jarry, who will make his debut for the first time.
The Argentine Open will be played on clay, will offer a prize pool of 728,185 dollars and has the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz (2), who is also the reigning champion, as the big favorite for the title.
