American to face Bagnis for second time in as many weeks
Fifth seed Frances Tiafoe dodged a major challenge at the Chile Dove Men+Care Open as he needed three tie-breaks to put away wild card Nicolas Jarry 7-6(7), 6-7(9), 7-6(7) in the first round on Monday.
In an early test that clocked in at nearly three hours (2 hr, 52 min), Tiafoe and Jarry combined for 42 aces in a high-quality server’s battle. The American improved to 2-2 in deciding sets for 2021 as he claimed his second-ever main draw victory on South American clay.
“Obviously due to crazy times, [we weren’t] able to have the big crowd here tonight [supporting Jarry], but I hope everyone who was here enjoyed it,” Tiafoe said in an on-court interview. “Me and Nico are great friends. I like him a lot, and I’m happy to see him back.
