Barcelona. The Argentine Tomás Etcheverry, 30th in the world, continued his great week in the men’s tennis tournament in Barcelona and qualified for the semifinals this Friday.
Etcheverry defeated the British Cameron Norrie (31st) in two balanced sets 7-6 (7/4) and 7-6 (7/1).
In the semifinals, the albiceleste player’s opponent will be especially complicated: the Norwegian Casper Ruud (6th in the world), one of the best on clay as he demonstrated by being a finalist twice at Roland Garros and finishing runner-up last week at the Monte Carlo Masters 1000. .
The Nordic player defeated the Italian Matteo Arnaldi (40th) without excessive complications this Friday, 6-4 and 6-3.
Etcheverry dreams of achieving the third title for Argentine tennis in the emblematic Conde de Godó tournament in Barcelona, where his compatriots Martín Jaite (1987) and Gaston Gaudio (2002) triumphed in the past.
This edition of the Barcelona tournament was marked by the loss just before the start of the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and by the reappearance of another local idol, the veteran Rafa Nadal, who had been away from the ATP circuit for more than three months and who played two matches in the Barcelona. In the second he fell against the Australian Alex De Minaur.
