Despite the defeat, Cachín, ranked 66th in the ATP world ranking, had his best performance in a Grand Slam.
The tennis player born in the Cordovan city of Bell Ville 27 years ago confirmed in New York how well he had done during the year, with his four Challengers titles in Madrid, Prague, Todi (Italy) and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic).
At the US Open he reached the third round after beating Slovenian Aljaz Bedene (347) and local Brandon Holt (303).
In the round of 16, Moutet will play against Norwegian Casper Ruud (7), who beat American Tommy Paul (34) in five sets: 7-6 (3), 6-7 (5), 7-6 (2) , 5-7 and 6-0.
The only Argentine left in the tournament is Diego Schwartzman (16), who advanced to the third round thanks to his wins over American Jack Sock (107) and Australian Alexei Popyrin (84).
The “Little One”, who had as best performances in New York his arrival in the quarterfinals in the 2017 and 2019 editions, will play his next game tomorrow against the American Frances Tiafoe (26), a rival he leads 2-1 in history.
Schwartzman beat the American at the Conde de Godó in Barcelona and the Masters 1000 in Cincinnati, both wins in 2021, and lost at the Vienna ATP, also last year.
In the case of advancing to the round of 16, the “Little One” could meet in that instance with the Spanish Rafael Nadal (3), wide favorite in his matchup on Saturday against the Frenchman Richard Gasquet (91), who won the 17 times they met.
The US Open this year will distribute a record number of prizes between both ATP and WTA tables: a sum of 60,100,000 dollars.
The champions of the US Open, both in men and women, will receive $2,600,000, a figure higher than that delivered by the other three “majors”: the Australian Open awarded $2,071,064, Roland Garros $2,290,354 and Wimbledon $2,507. .460 US currency.
