The first round of the Paris Masters 1000 with good performances Tomas Etcheverry (40th in the world) and Francisco Cerúndolo (29th). Unfortunately, Sebastian Baezthe best Argentine in the ranking (26th), fell to the Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic.
Another of the South Americans who made it through the first round was the Chilean Nicholas Jarry who beat the Italian Lorenzo Sonego (52nd) by 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 and will face tomorrow the world number 2, the Spanish Carlos Alcaraz.
Despite the fall of Báez, the Argentines remain firm in the Paris Masters
Báez was scheduled to face in the tournament debut Alexander Davidovich. However, the Spaniard “was forced to withdraw before taking the court due to physical problems” and finally played against the Serbian ‘lucky-loser’, who beat him 6-4, 6-7 (6/8), 7-5. In the second round, Kecmanovic could face Mariano Navonealso Argentine, in case he passes the first round against the Australian Alex de Minaur.
For his part, Etcheverry eliminated the Chinese at his premiere in Paris Zhang Zhizhen (47th) 6-3, 7-6 (8/6) and in his second match a complicated match awaits him against the Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (9th).
Cerúndolo, for his part, also defeated the Frenchman in two sets Quentin Halys (90º) 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 and He will not have an easy time in the second round against Andrey Rublev (6th) either. If he wins against the Russian, the eldest of the Cerúndolo brothers, 26 years old, would achieve the 100th victory of his career on the ATP circuit.
The Chilean also advanced Alejandro Tabilo (22nd), after beating the Portuguese Nuno Borges (34th) 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 6-3.
