Etcheverry, born in La Plata and ranked 128th in the ATP world ranking, reversed an adverse match and won over Jarry (149), after 2 hours and 11 minutes of confrontation.
The 22-year-old Argentine, who had already beaten the Chilean last year in the Brazilian Challenger in Campinas, will play his next match against Serbian Nikola Milojevic (136), who entered the tournament as a lucky loser for the injury that marginalized the Austrian Dominic Thiem (37).
while the porteño Juan Pablo Ficovich (64), coming from the classification, achieved his first victory in an ATP tournament by surprisingly beating Federico Coria from Rosario (230), after 1 hour and 45 minutes of play, which had him almost as its exclusive dominator.
Ficovich will be measured in the round of 16 with Diego Schwartzmann (14), top favorite for the title, who will just debut in the second round of the Córdoba Open.
While in the last match of the day, the Buenos Aires native Báez (77) dispatched with authority the Spanish Fernando Verdasco (200), once the top ten of the ATP, in a very convincing performance and after 2 hours and 2 minutes of meeting.
Báez, just 21 years old and the best Argentine of 2021 after winning 6 tournaments in the Challenger category, will be measured in the second instance of the contest against the Chilean Cristian Garin (18), one of the favorites to stay with the Córdoba Open.
For his part, the Azuleño Frederic Delbonis (41) lost to the Spanish Carlos Taberner (105) 6-4 and 6-2, after 1 hour and 35 minutes of play and quickly said goodbye to the tournament.
In turn, the porteño Francisco Cerundolo (111) fell to the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo (144), coming from the qualifiers, 6-4 and 6-1, after 1 hour and 25 minutes of confrontation.
