Alcaraz stumbles on the carpet in Buenos Aires!
Carlos Alcaraz will not see the final in Buenos Aires. The Spaniard, not yet fully acclimated to the clay, was knocked out by Nicolas Jarry in the semi-finals on Saturday. A bit too inconsistent, alternating between spectacular winning shots and sometimes gross errors, he fell in 1h55 on a score of 7/6(2), 6/3.
On the other side of the net, Jarry played an almost perfect match. Very aggressive, he was imperious at the net, ultra-penetrating in reverse and very solid on important points. The Chilean thus achieves the biggest win of his career and will meet the Argentine Facundo Diaz Acosta in the final this Sunday.
