Day 2 at the ATP tournament in Buenos Aires could be a historic day for tennis, for sad reasons. It could very well be the last match of one of the most universally beloved champions: Juan Martin del Potro. The Tower of Tandil recently announced that he’s returning this tournament but that the pain is too much and this will most likely be his farewell. There are some other interesting matches this Tuesday, but this one will clearly dominate the headlines.
ATP Buenos Aires Day 2 Predictions
Roberto Carballes Baena vs Nicolas Jarry
Head-to-head: Carballes Baena 3-3 Jarry
The two players have split their six previous meetings, which shows just how tight this matchup is. It could genuinely go either way, but Jarry has been in better form recently and has had more match practice on clay, which is enough to give him the smallest of edges.
Prediction: Jarry in 3
Jaume Munar vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry
Head-to-head: first meeting
Etcheverry has done some nice inroads into the ATP tour lately, but Munar is still the better and more experienced player of the two and should be able to prevail here, in a match that should feature a lot of long, grueling, and intense rallies.
