(Geneva) Chilean Nicolas Jarry beat Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets 7-6 (1), 6-1 in the final of the Geneva Tennis Open on Saturday.

Dimitrov, who was once ranked third in the world, was hoping to win his first ATP tournament since 2017.

It’s more like Jarry, 54^e world player, who earned a second title in 2023 when Dimitrov was unable to return a powerful serve, on the Chilean’s first match point.

Jarry celebrated his victory by crossing the court to join his family, before handing his racquet to his young son.

During the week, Jarry defeated two-time defending champion Casper Ruud, Alexander Zverev and Dimitrov.

Dimitrov was in his first final since 2018, in Rotterdam, where he lost to Roger Federer.

Australian Open Defending champion Madison Keys advances to third round

(Melbourne) Defending champion Madison Keys beat Ashlyn Krueger 6-1, 7-5 in the second round of the Australian Open on Thursday.

Ninth seeded, Keys won the American duel in an hour and a quarter ahead of Krueger, 62^e in the world.

Keys erased a 5-2 deficit in the second set.

“I would say I started the match really well and Ashlyn was a little slower to get into the rhythm,” Keys said. I expected it to get tougher, and that’s what happened. »

Last year, Keys earned her first major title by beating Aryna Sabalenka in the final at Melbourne Park.

Sixth seed, American Jessica Pegula defeated her compatriot McCartney Kessler 6-0, 6-2, after dominating 6-1 in breaks.

Among the men, the Serbian Novak Djokovic, titled 10 times in Melbourne, will play against the Italian Francesco Maestrelli, 141^e in the world.
