6th Etchejarry

The previous 5 were played on land as well. Average number of games per match: 26.8 (2 winning sets format each time)!

If Jarry has a higher average level, he is led 3-2 in their confrontations. These are very often tight, normal with two good servers and 2 big fighters. What will interest me the most here is everyone's form and their historical results in the tournament. This is the second participation for Nicolas Jarry. Last year, he had a very decent tournament, beating Coric and Popy, only losing to Tsitsipas. It's much stronger on high altitude clays, but it's still quite a piece anywhere. On the other hand, if it rains as predicted, the ground risks being very heavy which would be a bit of a shame for him because the conditions would not be ideal for his aggressive game. Concerning his state of form, he had a clear sluggish neck at the start of the season, only waking up in Buenos Aires and Miami. But what an awakening in Miami! Draper, Seyboth and Ruud in a row! We have to confirm now, but we can say that he arrives with a little more reference points and confidence. On the Argentinian side, this will be his first participation here. Add to that the fact that he was returning from injury in Miami 15 days ago, and you understand why his rating is lower than usual when he meets Jarry. But the rain and his 3 matches in Houston could perhaps change the situation, even if the latter were not at a very high level on his part either (not good against Galan in R1, Mmoh who gave up in R2 and Shelton which is in the tie-break of set 1). Last info that can count: Jarry took an MTO at the end of his R1 doubles for groin pain.
