The final result in 1h and 33 minutes of play was 6-3 and 6-4 to get into the semifinals in what is his second performance in Buenos Aires. In the first, in 2020, he was crowned with the victory and in 2021 he could not participate in it, when Diego Schwartzman took the crown. In this way, Ruud will already appear this Saturday in one of the semifinals (not before 16) where he will clash against Federico Delbonis. The Azul comes at a great time since it passed Del Potro, Andújar and Fognini without losing a partial game and at a great level, which makes you think of a very attractive match. As for the rest of the draw, in the night schedule the other semifinal will be defined with the pending matches between Fernando Verdasco and Lorenzo Sonego, where the opponent of the winner between two Argentines, Diego Schwartzman and Francísco Cerúndolo, will leave.
