The semifinals of the ATP of Buenos Aires take color and will not have the second pre-qualified tournament. Guido Pella was eliminated in the duel of Argentines with Juan Ignacio Londero. Thus, the first crossing of Saturday was established, which will take the Cordoba against the Norwegian Casper Ruud.

At Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis, the first to secure his ticket was Ruud. Located in the 45th position of the ATP world ranking, he spent an hour and 26 minutes to overcome 7-5 and 6-1 to Dusan Lajovic (23rd), the third favorite of the Argentina Open, which distributes 611,420 dollars and plays over brick dust.

Then, it was the turn of the Argentine duel, in which the ATP champion of Cordoba 2019 was the winner. Londero, who in the next round will be measured at Ruud, won 6-4 and 7-6 (4) at Pella . Thus, the Cordoba will return to an ATP semifinal after seven months, when in July last year he reached the final of the Bastad tournament, also on brick dust.
