ATP Buenos Aires: Zverev and Rune in the draw, Fonseca - Etcheverry and Schwartzman - Jarry in the 1st round
The ATP 250 Buenos Aires gets underway on Monday with a rather tempting draw.
World No.2 Alexander Zverev is seeded No.1 and will face either Roberto Carballes Baena or Dusan Lajovic in his 2nd round opener.
Holger Rune, seeded n°2, will have to face the fervor of the Argentinian public, as he will play against Mariano Navone or Francisco Comesana.
However, there is still some doubt as to his fitness, as he came down with the flu this week in Rotterdam.
Among the interesting 1st round matches, Joao Fonseca and Tomas Etcheverry should put up a good fight on Argentine clay.
Diego Schwartzman, in his last professional tournament and potentially the last match of his career, will be up against defending champion Nicolas Jarry.
