After them, we will see another Argentinian in Coria taking on Paire. The Frenchman returned to winning ways at Cordoba and he will be looking to extend that against Coria who is always tricky on clay. Another Argentinian will play later as Bagnis will take on Kovalik from Slovakia. Both enjoy playing on clay and they already played twice on this surface with Bagnis winning both matches. The number one seed and Argentinian number one Diego Schwartzman will close out the programme with a banger against Albert Ramos set to start at 00:00 CET.

They played each other five times with all of the matches coming on clay. Schwartzman won all of them without dropping a set so anything different than that would be quite a surprise.

Wednesday, February 24th:

The event continues on Wednesday with 4 matches on the schedule starting at 18:35 CET and running till the early hours of Thursday Central European Time. There will be an abundance of native Argentinian players such as Bagnis and Delbonis along with Benoit Paire playing today.

The programme kicks off at 18:35 with Barrios taking on Kovalik. Both players don't have many chances to go deep into this type of event so they will be looking to take advantage of this opportunity. It will continue with Coria vs Cerundolo with the Argentinian looking to impress the native fans with their play.

Another all-Argentinian clash will be between Bagnis and Delbonis which should give the native Argentina crowd a proper delight. The final match will be between Paire and Jarry. Paire is looking to get back to winning ways after a lot of struggle lately but Jarry is a former top 50 player who plays well on clay.
