Argentine players at Cincinnati Masters 1000

Overview

Argentine tennis players have seen mixed results during the opening rounds of the Cincinnati Masters 1000.

Thiago Tirante secured a victory against Britain’s Jan Choinski in a marathon match, winning 7-6(9), 6-7(7), 7-6(4) in nearly three hours. This win earned Tirante a second-round matchup against three-time champion Novak Djokovic.

In a major upset, Tirante defeated Djokovic in the second round with a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 scoreline. The match lasted 2 hours and 44 minutes. After losing the first set, Tirante overcame heat and physical challenges to secure the win. During the match, Djokovic reportedly struggled with physical issues, citing discomfort that hindered his movement; he appeared to experience physical distress and required medical attention during the second set due to the heat and humidity in Ohio. Specifically, the 39-year-old Serbian exhibited signs of physical distress, including difficulty breathing and vomiting. Following the match, Djokovic attributed his performance issues to a “long-standing health condition that is aggravated by high heat and humidity.”

To secure the victory, Tirante utilized 13 aces and 40 winners to maintain pressure. With this win, the 25-year-old Tirante, ranked 50th in the ATP, becomes one of the few Argentine players to defeat Djokovic, joining the ranks of Juan Martín Del Potro, Guillermo Coria, and David Nalbandian. He advances to the round of 32, where he is scheduled to face Spain's Martín Landaluce.

Mariano Navone also advanced to the second round after defeating Belgium’s Raphael Collignon 6-3, 7-6(3). Other Argentine participants, including Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Román Burruchaga, were eliminated in their opening matches. Francisco Cerúndolo and Tomás Etcheverry have received byes into the second round.
