Etcheverry Reaches Miami Open Third Round as Cerúndolo–Tirante All-Argentine Match Looms

Rain-disrupted scheduling leaves a smaller Argentine group in Miami.

Overview

  • Tomás Etcheverry defeated Zizou Bergs 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3) to move into the third round and will face 19-year-old Spaniard Rafael Jodar next.
  • Thiago Tirante, a lucky loser, outlasted Valentin Royer in 3 hours 24 minutes to reach the second round and earn a meeting with Francisco Cerúndolo.
  • The Cerúndolo vs. Tirante all-Argentine second-round match was slated for Saturday afternoon local time on the same court where Etcheverry played.
  • Sebastián Báez, Mariano Navone, Camilo Ugo Carabelli, Francisco Comesaña and Solana Sierra have been eliminated, narrowing Argentina’s presence.
  • Opening-day rain forced a major schedule reshuffle, and coverage in Argentina is available on ESPN’s TV channels with all matches streaming on Disney+ Premium.
