ATP roundup: Top seed Alcaraz crashes out of Argentina Open

On Saturday in the semifinals of the IEB+ Argentina Open in Buenos Aires, third-seeded Chilean Nicolas Jarry defeated No. 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain 7-6(2), 6-3.

Jarry rallied from a 6-5 deficit in the first set to force a tiebreaker, where he raced ahead to a 6-1 lead that proved too much for Alcaraz to handle. Jarry then won the final three games of the second set, completing the sweep.

Alcaraz was the Argentina Open's defending champion. He had no aces on Saturday, whereas Jarry had seven, and the latter saved three of four break points.

Jarry's win secured his spot in the final, where he will face Argentina's wild card Facundo Diaz Acosta. Diaz Acosta defeated countryman Federico Coria 6-2, 6-3 in Saturday's other semifinal. Coria was playing under a special exemption.

Sinner will face Australia's fifth seed Alex de Minaur in the final, who defeated Bulgaria's sixth seed Grigor Dimitrov 6-4, 6-3.
