Jarry Faces Comesaña in Crucial ATP Rio Match

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil – Nicolás Jarry is set to face Francisco Comesaña in a pivotal second-round match at the ATP 500 in Rio de Janeiro on Wednesday, February 19, 2025. Jarry, currently ranked 47th in the world, aims to secure a spot in the quarterfinals after a hard-fought victory over Juan Manuel Cerúndolo earlier in the week.

Jarry’s match against Comesaña is scheduled to begin at 4:30 PM local time (3:30 PM EST), broadcast live on Disney+. The 86th-ranked Comesaña has had a strong showing in recent days, winning two consecutive matches, including an impressive first-round victory against local favorite Gustavo Heide.

This will be the first meeting between Jarry and Comesaña, adding an extra layer of excitement to a match that could potentially lead Jarry to face the winner of the contest between Alexander Zverev and Alexander Shevchenko in the quarterfinals. Jarry is under pressure to continue his momentum in the tournament after being the last Chilean player standing, following early exits from Cristian Garín and Alejandro Tabilo.

“I’m feeling good and ready for the challenge,” Jarry stated after his first-round match. “Every match here is an opportunity to grow and improve my game. I know Comesaña has been playing well, and I’ll have to be at my best.”

Jarry’s path to the second round started with a resilient performance against Cerúndolo, winning 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. Comesaña’s wins over Heide and Nicolás Jarry aim to further enhance his own ranking, propelling him into the conversation as a competitor to watch in the tournament.

After a disappointing showing at the Argentina Open recently, Zverev, currently ranked second in the world, will also be under pressure as he nears his quarterfinal match. Fans are eager to see if he can regain his form, adding intrigue to the potential matchup against Jarry in the next round.

The entire ATP 500 tournament can be viewed live via the streaming platform Disney+, giving fans access to every match as excitement builds for the final rounds of this prestigious event.
