In the next round, Coria will face Brazilian Joao Fonseca, who surprised by eliminating his compatriot Tomás Etcheverry with a convincing 6-3 and 6-3.

These matches are key for Argentine tennis players looking to advance in the event and earn important points in the ATP ranking.
Initially, Coria sought to open opportunities to destabilize his opponent; however, Fonseca responded with great defense and sound decision-making that made the match a constant challenge until the last point.
