Federico Coria landed one of the great blows this Thursday at the ATP in Buenos Aires. The 106th in the world and younger brother of the legendary Magician, beat the British Cameron Norrie 6-2, 4-6 and 6-3 and advanced to the quarter-finals of the tournament whose big favorite is the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, number two of the world ranking.
It took Fefo two hours and 20 minutes to eliminate Norrie, who was in the top ten and is now 20th in the world. She won the first set, then gave up the second, but showed authority in the final chapter to remove one of her final finalists from the competition.
It is the fourth victory over a top 20 in his career for Coria, who enters the quarter-finals of the tournament played at Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis for the second time. Previously, he had won twice against the Spaniard Pablo Carreño Busta (Lyon 2022) and the Chilean Cristian Garín (Bastad 2021 and Rio 2022).
