The face of the Argentine Genaro Olivieri touches the clay of Roland Garros, his body stretched on the court where he has just earned the right to play the final draw of the French Grand Slam.
The 24-year-old tennis player will thus enter among the best for the first time in a major, after having won this Friday the final duel of the previous phase to the Bulgarian Adrian Andreev by 6-1, 5-7 and 6-4.
The Bragado can not believe it, but will raise to nine the list of Argentines who will play the men's final table, to which we must add Nadia Podoroska in the women's.
In the midst of the euphoria for his victory, Olivieri had a memory for his father, a famous pelotari who died during the pandemic.
With him, there are two Argentines who managed to get into the final draw through the previous phase, something that Thiago Tirante had achieved this Thursday, who will also debut in a Grand Slam.
At the gates was Facundo Díaz Acosta, who lost the third match against the Austrian Sebastian Ofner by 7-5 and 6-3.
Waiting for any of the Argentines eliminated in the previous phase to be rescued to cover casualties, they will participate in the final draw, in addition to these two tennis players, Diego Schwartzman, Sebastian Baez, Francisco Cerundolo, Federico Coria, Pedro Cachín, Tomás Martín Etcheverry and Guido Pella.
