Third seed Nicolas Jarry and the wildcard Facundo Diaz Acosta will contest the final of this year’s Argentina Open. This is Jarry’s sixth tour final while Diaz Acosta is making his debut at this stage of a tour tournament. Nicolas Jarry has continued with his strong clay court record as all tour finals he has played have been on the surface. He has won his last three and will be highly confident of adding a fourth title to his collection. The Chilean advanced to the final after defeating the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets in the semifinals. This is the biggest win of his career and will go a long way into adding to his motivation. Jarry, who has now moved up to 19th in the live ranking, has defeated Diaz Acosta all three times they have met. Two of those wins have come on clay courts.

Facundo Diaz Acosta has advanced to the first tour final of his career. Before this year he had not even played in a tour semifinal and yet here he is in a championship match. The Argentine will be hoping support from the home crowd sees him finish as the last man standing. He has been in excellent form in this event and has won all four rounds without dropping a set. The 23-year-old defeated Federico Coria by the loss of five games in the semifinals. This was his eighth win of the season and the sixth to be achieved on clay. Advancing to the final has seen him scale up the ATP world rankings with ease. He started the competition almost outside the top 100 but is now up to 69th in the live ranking, a new career high.
