Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Francisco Comesana, a 24-year-old Argentine player, is set to face Nicolas Jarry from Chile in their first-ever meeting. Comesana is currently ranked 86th in the world, with a career-high ranking of 84th achieved in November 2024. In 2025, he has a win-loss record of 1-3, reaching the second round in Rio. His breakthrough came in June 2023 when he entered the Top 200, followed by the Top 100 in April 2024. He made his debut in a Grand Slam main draw at Wimbledon in 2024, where he achieved his biggest win by defeating the 6th ranked player, Andrey Rublev, in the first round. He continued his success by advancing to the third round, becoming the youngest Argentine player to reach this stage at Wimbledon since Juan Martin del Potro in 2011. Additionally, Comesana reached the third round of the US Open in the same year, making him the third Argentine man in the Open Era to achieve this feat in their first two Grand Slam main draws, following Jaite in 1984-85 and Markus in 1991. Comesana made his ATP Tour debut at the 2024 Cordoba tournament as a wild card and reached the third round at both Wimbledon and the US Open later in the year. In 2023, he had an impressive record of 45 wins and 21 losses in Challenger matches, earning the most Challenger wins that season, and winning titles in Vicenza and Liberec.
Comesana now aims to reach his first ATP Tour quarterfinal and is playing in his first round of 16 tour-level match. He has a record of 2 wins and 5 losses against top 50 players, with victories over Rublev at Wimbledon in 2024 and Ugo Humbert at the 2024 US Open.
The Rio Open has witnessed some of the longest matches in its history. One of the longest matches was in 2020, where Seyboth Wild defeated Davidovich Fokina in the first round, lasting for 3 hours and 50 minutes. Another notable match was in 2025 when Comesana defeated Heide in the first round, lasting for 3 hours and 21 minutes.

On the other hand, Nicolas Jarry, a 29-year-old player from Chile, is currently ranked 47th in the world, with a career-high ranking of 16th achieved in May 2024. He started 2021 unranked and made significant progress to reach his career-high. In May 2024, he became the first Chilean player since Fernando Gonzalez in 2007 to reach the ATP Masters 1000 final in Rome. In 2023, he won his second ATP Tour title in Santiago, his hometown, after coming back from a set down three times in five matches. He also caused upsets by defeating former champions Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev en route to his third title in Geneva. In 2019, Jarry won his first ATP Tour title in Bastad without losing a set, joining his compatriot, Christian Garin, as a first-time ATP Tour champion. Jarry’s most memorable win against a top-ranked player came in 2019 when he saved a match point against Alexander Zverev in the Barcelona second round. However, he couldn’t capitalize on two match points against Zverev in the Geneva final later that month. In his junior career, Jarry reached a career-high ranking of 8th and reached the doubles final of the 2013 Roland Garros with Garin as his partner. Jarry comes from a family with a strong tennis background, with both of his parents being former professional volleyball players, and his grandfather, great-uncle, and uncle all being former ATP players.
In the current Rio Open, Jarry aims to reach his 27th ATP Tour quarterfinal, his 17th on clay, and his 8th in South America. He is hoping to win consecutive matches on clay for the first time since reaching the ATP Masters 1000 Rome final in May, where he lost to Zverev.
