Argentina Open 2025: Weather Delays Matches at Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club

Buenos Aires, Argentina — Rain disrupted play at the Argentina Open 2025 this week, pushing back first-round matches originally scheduled for Tuesday, February 6. Following the delay, the competition at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club resumes today, February 8, with weather forecasts predicting isolated thunderstorms, raising concerns about further interruptions.

Matches are set to start at 1:30 p.m. local time and will be broadcast live on TyC Sports and TyC Sports Play, accessible via Flow, DGO, and Telecentro Play. The main court, named after legendary player Guillermo Vilas, will feature four key matches today.

In top-billed matches, Sebastian Báez faces Camilo Ugo Carabelli, followed by Italian Luciano Darderi against local favorite Francisco Cerúndolo. Veteran Diego Schwartzman, potentially playing his final professional match, is scheduled to play against Chilean Nicolás Jarry at 8:30 p.m.

The second stadium will host a matchup between Juan Manuel Cerúndolo and Román Burruchaga, as well as matches involving French player Hugo Gastón and Federico Coria. The third court will feature Damir Dzumhur from Bosnia facing Spain’s Pedro Martínez, starting no earlier than 2:30 p.m.

Tuesday’s events were truncated to just three matches, with notable performances including Francisco Cerúndolo’s straight-sets victory over Luciano Darderi and Sebastián Báez defeating Camilo Carabelli by the same score. Juan Manuel Cerúndolo also triumphed against Román Burruchaga in a tightly contested three-set match.

Despite reduced participation, high-profile competitors Holger Rune and Lorenzo Musetti have yet to carve out their schedules. Rune, currently ranked 14th, will face Mariano Navone while Musetti is set to meet either Corentin Moutet or Sumit Nagal later in the tournament.

The Argentina Open, held since 2001, is part of the ATP 250 series, but its origins trace back to 1893, with various name and organizer changes over the years. The tournament saw its first edition of the Open Era in 1973, with ex-champion Guillermo Vilas holding the record for the most titles at eight, six of which he won consecutively.

As the matches resume, spectators will anticipate the performance of Germany’s Alexander Zverev, the current world number two and recent Australian Open finalist, alongside eight Argentines already positioned in the main draw.
