"Doesn't think about leaving his racquet for a second": Nicolas Jarry's son already has inherited tennis gene according to his wife
ATPThursday, 21 December 2023 at 00:30
Laura
Urruti, the wife of Nicolas Jarry, shared some adorable pictures of their
20-month-old son Juan, who has inherited the family's love for tennis and is
exploring Barcelona with his racquet.
The Chilean
player experienced a remarkable ascent in the rankings, climbing from world No.
155 at the beginning of the season to the year-end ranking of No. 19. With
victories at the ATP 250 Santiago Open and Geneva Open, Jarry established
himself as a formidable player on the Tour, creating numerous memorable moments
with his son throughout the year.
The Chilean
couple tied the knot in 2020, and their eldest son, Juan Jarry, was born in
April 2022. In August of the same year, they welcomed their second child,
Santiago. In a video shared by Urruti, the elder son Juan is seen strolling the
streets of Barcelona with a Wilson Junior Minion racket. "And yes, he
doesn't think about leaving his racquet for a second," she wrote.
Remarkable 2023
At 27 years
old, Nicolas Jarry faced a year without a ranking in 2021 due to a suspension
for an alleged doping violation, which was eventually attributed to
cross-contamination, reducing the suspension to 11 months. The Chilean made a
strong comeback, reentering the top 100 and achieving a career-high ranking of
No. 20 in October. He concluded the season with a 38-19 record and prize money
of $1,925,489.
In addition
to his two titles, Jarry reached the semifinals of the ATP 500 Rio Open (losing
to Carlos Alcaraz), achieved his first Masters 1000 quarterfinal at the
Shanghai Open, and delivered his best Grand Slam performances, reaching the
second round at the Australian Open, the third round at the US Open and
Wimbledon, and the fourth round at Roland Garros.
Jarry’s 2024 season
Nicolas Jarry
will kick off the 2024 season in Australia, leading Chile in the United Cup,
with his grandfather Jaime Fillol as the captain (former world No. 14 and
two-time French Open doubles finalist). The Chilean team will also feature
Tomas Barrios Vera, Daniela Seguel, Gonzalo Lama, and Fernanda Labrana.
Following
the team tournament, Jarry will head to the Adelaide Open, starting on January
8, and the following week, he will be in the main draw of the Australian Open
as one of the seeded players (currently world No. 19).

- I love WTA matches. Seek them out as much as possible on youtube and other platforms I already subscribe to. With that in mind, I do not wish to pay $$$ to a notoriously slippery subscription conglomerate sports broadcaster (like SkySports) just for the privilege to watch it and the tnt/eurosport/discovery subscription went from $$ to $$$+ annually in a blink of an eye. With ATP I have been begrudgingly paying xyz tennis only channel and try to catch up on slams elsewhere (pubs, youtube with USO later on games are just as enjoyable to watch and a smart move to upload on their official channel) but they don't cover WTA. I tried another Tennis dedicated channel that advertised originally as broadcasting where I live, but turned out, they took the money, but didn't cover the matches (only fluff/filler value documentaries). I don't understand why it is so hard to not lock the live matches to one broadcaster only refusing so many people who are happy to pay for the privilege just not through that one entry point. WTA is so exciting for the last few years and they really should capitalise on it as much as possible. And I know it is somewhat naive talking without knowing the inner works, but not being able to find any WTA other than youtube (and then only highlights mostly) is just so frustrating.JayJay11-09-2026
- Clearly not AI :-)
AceOfBase11-09-2026 - Oh my God!! Does anyone proofread these pages??? Case in point: However, the question mark over the 32-years-old head......???? No! No! No! However, the question mark over the 32-year-old's head...good grief man, hire a proofreader. This article is rife with errors making some sentences very difficult to read. I had to stop. I am a proofreader hence my disgust.Rapunzel10-09-2026
- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis. Tiafoe vs. Shelton should be a good one too. Americans might finally get their US Open Champion after 23 years!DaveyWavey09-09-2026
- No one else would get away with this but these AMERCANS! It’s the US Open!! In America!! But sure, go off American ;)DaveyWavey08-09-2026

mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026
