The Argentinian Thomas Martin Etcheverry (76) surprised at the removal of his countryman Sebastian Baez (35 in the world) in two sets 7-5 and 6-3 and qualify for final of the Open 250 ATP of Santiago de Chile who will play this Sunday against the Chilean Nicholas Jarry (87), executioner of the Spanish Jaume Munar (66) by 1-6, 7-6 and 6-1.
The Chilean came back to life after being caught on the scoreboard, a habit he has developed in this tournament and shows that his mental resistance is higher than his tennis.
Munar The first set was scored easily and quickly. A 6-1 who risked better sensations and better expectations, stayed on his right, full of confidence.
Jarryout of focus for the first half hour, regained the game that once ranked him among the best in the world, and strengthened his serve, allowing him to level the match in a long set decided in a tight tie-break.
A screw that affected the Spaniard, who in the third game surrendered four games in a row and gave his rival -and the noisy Chilean public- extra confidence to reach the long-awaited final with a decisive 6-1 .
In the previous match, Etcheverry took advantage of his best serve statistics and percentage of points won on first serve to undermine the game of his compatriot, seeded number 3 in the tournament and favorite for the title after the elimination of the first two.
The final will be held this Sunday on the mobile track built in the Jesuit complex of San Carlos Apoquindo, in the Andes foothills, which separates Chile from Argentina.
