Nicolas Jarry Upsets Stefanos Tsitsipas in Rome Quarterfinals | ATP Tour

In a stunning upset, Nicolas Jarry defeated sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas to reach the semi-finals of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome. The 28-year-old Chilean showcased his relentless power from the baseline, striking 23 forehand winners to secure a 3-6, 7-5, 6-4 victory over the Greek star.

Jarry’s victory was a hard-fought battle, with the Chilean displaying mental fortitude and fighting off 11 of 13 break points faced. A key turning point in the match came in the second set when Jarry rallied from 0/40 down to win five consecutive points, igniting the crowd at the Foro Italico.

After the match, Jarry expressed his happiness with his performance, stating, “I kept trying to find different ways to have chances on his serve. I knew I was playing good. I had to adjust some things in the backhand so he didn’t push me back, that’s why he played so good. I was able to do those things and I’m extremely happy for the win.”

Jarry’s victory sets up a semi-final clash with 14th seed Tommy Paul, where he will look to continue his impressive run in Rome. The Chilean is tied at his career-high ranking of No. 18 and has already notched wins against top 10 players this season.

Jarry’s triumph marks a historic moment for Chilean tennis, as he and countryman Alejandro Tabilo are the first duo from their country to reach the semi-finals of an ATP Tour event since 2006. With his sights set on the final, Jarry will look to maintain his strong form and secure a spot in the championship match.
