Nicolas Jarry becomes a father for the second time as family welcome baby boy Santi

Nicolas Jarry and his wife Laura Urrutia celebrated the birth of their son on social media, bringing excitement to Chile's tennis future.

The Chilean tennis player had a successful debut at the Cincinnati Open, defeating Roman Safiulin 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. However, he withdrew from the tournament before his match against Alexey Popyrin.

Several players withdrew from the tournament during the week due to injuries, including Holger Rune, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Elena Rybakina, and Elina Svitolina. A total of 9 players in the men's and women's draws left the tournament after its start.

An exception among the withdrawing players was Jarry, who traveled to Chile due to the birth of his new son, Santiago.

Jarry and his wife Laura Urrutia, recently shared a photo on social media of their family with the new addition, sparking optimism in Chile about the future of his tennis:

Nicolas Jarry's family has a tennis tradition, being the grandson of Jaime Fillol, one of the most successful tennis players in the South American country with 24 titles and a highest ranking of world No. 14. His brother Alvaro was also a tennis player in the 1970s, and Catalina Fillol, Jarry's aunt, is the director of the ATP 250 Santiago Open.

Following the joyful news for Jarry's family, the Chilean will quickly head to the US Open, where he enters as the 25th seed. Jarry achieved his career-best ranking on August 21st, reaching world No. 24.

This will be the Chilean's fourth appearance in the US Open main draw, but his first as a seeded player. Jarry advanced past the first round only in 2018 and was eliminated in the first round in 2019 and 2022.
