Bolivian tennis player Hugo Dellien (ranked 167th) defeated Bosnian Damir Dzumhur (ranked 62nd) in two sets and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Argentina Open, where he will face local player Francisco Cerúndolo (ranked 19th). As reported by Agencia Noticias Argentinas, the Argentina Open kicked off on Monday at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club, with the Bolivian's victory over the Bosnian serving as the tournament's opening match. The Latin American player had no trouble overcoming his European opponent with a score of 6-4 and 6-1 to reach the quarterfinals, where he will face the local title contender, Francisco Cerúndolo. After a strong qualifying run where he defeated Argentine Genaro Olivieri and Brazilian Thiago Monteiro without dropping a set, the Bolivian entered this stage following his impressive performance at the Rosario Challenger, where he lost to champion Camilo Ugo Carabelli in the quarterfinals last Friday. Dellien controlled the match from start to finish and only faced difficulties when his intensity dropped while leading 4-1 in the first set, a moment when Dzumhur tied it at 4-4. There, the Bolivian accelerated, broke serve, and won the set 6-4. In the second set, the Bolivian's performance was outstanding, and he built a 5-0 lead. Despite his opponent's comeback, Dellien closed out the set 6-1, securing his victory in Buenos Aires.
