What Time Will Nicolas Jarry Play Against Lukas Klein?
Jarry and Klein are on the Day 3 Schedule at Chengdu Open 2024 on Friday 20 September 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
[3] Nicolas Jarry from Chile will be facing Lukas Klein from Slovakia in their first-ever tour-level meeting. However, they have previously met at the 21 Luedenscheid CH tournament in Germany, where Jarry emerged victorious with a score of 1-6, 7-6(5), 7-6(6) on clay in the Round of 32.
Nicolas Jarry, aged 28, is currently ranked 28th in the world and has achieved a career-high ranking of 16. In 2024, he holds a win-loss record of 16-18 with two finals appearances. This is Jarry’s debut at the Chengdu tournament, and he aims to improve his performance as he has been on a seven-match losing streak since his ATP Masters 1000 final in Rome in May. Jarry has previously made history as the first Chilean since Fernando Gonzalez in 2007 to reach an ATP Masters 1000 final in Rome. Notably, in 2023, he won his second ATP Tour title in Santiago, his hometown, after coming from a set down three times in five matches. He also upset the defending champion Casper Ruud in the quarterfinals and Alexander Zverev in the semifinals en route to his third title in Geneva. Furthermore, Jarry won his first ATP Tour title in Bastad in 2019 without dropping a set, joining his compatriot Cristian Garin as a first-time ATP Tour champion that year. Jarry has also had significant wins in his career, including saving match points against Alexander Zverev in the 2019 Barcelona second round, which marked his first top three victory. However, he missed out on another opportunity to defeat Zverev in the final of Geneva one month later, where he squandered two match points. He achieved a career-high junior ranking of No. 8 after reaching the 2013 Roland Garros boys’ doubles final with Garin. Jarry comes from a family with a strong tennis background, as his parents Allan and Cecilia were former
professional volleyball players, and his grandfather Jaime Fillol, great-uncle Alvaro Fillol, and uncle Martin Rodriguez were all former ATP players. Jarry aims to reach his 25th ATP Tour quarterfinal, with his sixth of 2024, at the Chengdu tournament, following his previous quarterfinal appearances in Adelaide, Buenos Aires (final), Santiago, ATP Masters 1000 Miami, and ATP Masters 1000 Rome (final).
On the other hand, Lukas Klein, aged 26, is currently ranked 127th in the world and has achieved a career-high ranking of 109 in August 2024. He broke into the top 300 in 2020 and the top 200 in 2022 before reaching his career-high ranking. Klein made his ATP Tour debut at the 2021 Buenos Aires tournament, defeating his compatriot Andrej Martin in the first round as a qualifier ranked 291st in the world. He also participated in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and made his Grand Slam debut at the 2022 Wimbledon. Klein achieved his first Grand Slam win at the 2024 Australian Open by defeating Kwon Soon-woo before losing to No. 6 Alexander Zverev in the second round in a fifth-set tiebreak. He started the 2024 season by defeating No. 28 Sebastian Baez, marking the biggest win of his career, in the first round of the Brisbane tournament before losing to Arnaldi in the second round. Klein has an impressive record in Challenger events, with a 99-78 win-loss record. He has reached the finals three times, winning titles at the 2022 Troisdorf, Alicante, and 2023 Ortisei tournaments. Klein aims to become the first Slovak player to reach an ATP Tour quarterfinal since Alex Molcan at the 2023 Kitzbuhel tournament, where Molcan lost to Baez. Klein has a record of 1-4 against top 30 players and hopes to equal the biggest win of his career by defeating Jarry at the Chengdu tournament.
