The surprise final is played from 4 p.m., with television from TyC Sports, in the main court of the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis.
Díaz Acosta, who from this Monday will appear at least 69th in the ATP world ranking, built his victory over Coria (106) in one hour and 25 minutes, before about 3,500 people who witnessed the match on the central court.
Vicente López’s left-hander, who last week in Córdoba had reached the quarterfinals of an ATP for the first time in his career, improved his record by advancing to the final in Buenos Aires, where he entered the draw thanks to an invitation from the organizers.
Jarry (21) exhibited a superlative level to eliminate Alcaraz (2) from Murcia in a high-voltage semifinal, who was defending the title he won last year.
In the first “semi” of the day, the 23-year-old Argentine confirmed that he is on the rise and that this Sunday he can win his first title as long as he manages to control the enormous power that Jarry showed throughout the week.
The Argentine settled into the definition of the Buenos Aires ATP after having beaten the German Daniel Altmaier (53), Francisco Cerúndolo (22), the Serbian Dusan Lajovic (58) in a row and this afternoon put an end to the illusions of “Fefo” Coria , 32 years old and with more experience on the circuit.
A professional since 2018, Díaz Acosta made the long-awaited “click” in the last two weeks since he began touring the circuit, and this afternoon he became the third “wild card” (special guest) to reach the final in Buenos Aires .
The previous two who took advantage of an invitation were Mariano Puerta in 2005, when he lost the final with Gastón Gaudio, and the Spanish David Ferrer in 2014, when he became champion.
Díaz Acosta’s week continues this Sunday in a final in which he faces a complicated opponent like Jarry but not impossible to beat.
The 28-year-old Chilean had surpassed the Swiss Stan Wawrinka (60) and the Argentine Tomás Martín Etcheverry (27) in the previous rounds, and on Saturday afternoon he raised his level to get rid of Alcaraz, considered the successor of ” Rafa” Nadal and also as a reference on the circuit in the coming years.
The Spaniard, champion of the US Open 2022 and Wimbledon 2023, was undefeated in the Argentina Open with five wins, but he encountered an opponent like Jarry who hit everything he threw and served perfectly throughout the match.
