Debut moment for Nicholas Jarry in this Los Cabos Open, where he starts as the sixth seed following having received a Wild Card from the organization. The Chilean tennis player was jumping on court for the first time since his presence at Wimbledon, where he put up a good face once morest eventual champion Alcaraz in the third round.

Jarry shows his authority
A very interesting start to the match, with a Jarry who left no doubts on serve, as was to be expected, but once morest a Pacheco who also showed confidence. The conditions were very humid, also with a good presence of wind that affected both players, especially before each serve. The Mexican player, with the full support of the public present, showed himself with great ease enduring the attacks from the Chilean right. Even so, the pressure of always having to serve at a disadvantage was going to take effect, and Nico would get the first break to go up 4-2 on the scoreboard. With a lot of hierarchy Jarry secured that first set 6-3.
Although Rodrigo continued with high energy, moving permanently, he had a hard time sustaining the Chilean’s attacks, who began to generate more and more damage with his right. Hitting a series of winners in the first game, Jarry would break up from the start of this second set, to stand more comfortably. The one from Santiago did not lower the intensity and now deepened his favorable difference with a second break, staying very close to sealing the victory. This is how the Chilean sealed his victory with a bulky 6-1 final.
