Nicolás Jarry-Facundo Díaz Acosta, for the Argentine Open final: what time is it played and how to watch it on TV

The Argentine tennis player Facundo Diaz Acosta Goes this Sunday in search of the title of Argentina Open against the Chilean Nicholas Jarry, who surprised the Spanish favorite Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinal by beating him 7-6 (7-2) and 6-3. The surprise final will be played from 4pm, with TyC Sports television, on the main pitch of the Lawn tennis in Buenos Aires.

Díaz Acosta, who from this Monday will appear at least 69th in the ATP world ranking, built his victory over Coria (106) in an hour and 25 minutes, in front of around 3,500 people who watched the match on the central court.

The southpaw from Vicente López, who last week in Córdoba had reached the quarterfinals of an ATP for the first time in his career, improved his record by advancing to the final in Buenos Aires, where he entered the draw thanks to an invitation from the organizers.

Jarry (21) showed a superlative level by eliminating Alcaraz (2) from Murcia in a high-voltage semi-final, defending the title won last year.

In the first “semi” of the day, the 23-year-old Argentine confirmed that he is improving and that this Sunday he will be able to win his first title as long as he manages to control the enormous power that Jarry has shown throughout the week. .

The Argentine entered the definition of the ATP of Buenos Aires after beating in a row the German Daniel Altmaier (53), Francisco Cerúndolo (22), the Serbian Dusan Lajovic (58) and this afternoon he put an end to the illusions of “Fefo “Coria, 32 years old and with more experience on the circuit.

A professional since 2018, Díaz Acosta has made the long-awaited “click” in the last two weeks since he began touring the circuit, and this afternoon he became the third “wild card” (special guest) to reach the final in Buenos Aires.

The previous two who took advantage of an invitation were Mariano Puerta in 2005, when he lost the final against Gastón Gaudio, and the Spaniard David Ferrer in 2014, when he became champion.

Díaz Acosta’s week continues this Sunday in a final in which he will face a rival as complicated as Jarry but not impossible to beat.

The 28-year-old Chilean had overcome the Swiss Stan Wawrinka (60) and the Argentine Tomás Martín Etcheverry (27) in the previous rounds, and on Saturday afternoon he raised his level to get rid of Alcaraz, considered the successor of “Rafa” Nadal and also as reference of the circuit in the coming years.

The Spaniard, champion of the 2022 US Open and 2023 Wimbledon, was undefeated at the Argentine Open with five victories, but faced an opponent like Jarry who hit everything he threw and served perfectly throughout the match.
