Argentine youngster Tomas Martin Etcheverry faces 2nd seed Cameron Norrie in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Argentina Open.
The British No. 1 had a great start to the season as he performed well in the United Cup and reached the finals in the ASB Classic. However, he couldn’t go deep into the Australian Open as he lost to Jiri Lehecka in the third round.
After receiving a bye into the second round of the Argentina Open, Norrie faced the 22-year-old Facundo Diaz Acosta. The Argentine athlete shocked Norrie and won the first set. However, the experienced campaigner came back strongly to win the match 4-6, 7-5, 7-6 (8-6). Norrie did not play his best game but expect him to bounce back in the encounter because there is no doubting his ability.
The 23-year-old made it to the main draw of the Adelaide International 2 by progressing from the qualifiers. In the Australian Open, Martin Etcheverry won his first match in a major event when he defeated Gregoire Barrere. After losing to Joao Sousa in the first round of the Cordoba Open, he reached his first ATP quarterfinal in the Argentina Open.
Martin Etcheverry notched up a brilliant come-from-behind win against Hugo Dellien in the first round. The Argentine youngster produced another fine performance in the second round against Roberto Carballes Baena and came back from a set down once again to win 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.
The head-to-head scoreline currently stands at 0-0 as the two players have never faced each other as yet.
Prediction: Tomas Martin Etcheverry to win in three sets.
