Nicolas
Jarry helped a young spectator during his victory against Stefanos Tsitsipas at the
China Open in Beijing.
The Chilean
tennis player had a great start to the Asian tour by defeating the 4th seed
Stefanos Tsitsipas in the first round. Jarry, ranked World No. 23, was leading
the match 6-4, 4-2 when he noticed that a young spectator, who was with her
father, fell ill. Without hesitation, Jarry approached her and offered a bottle
of water during a break in the game before receiving Tsitsipas' service.
Jarry's
gesture was warmly applauded by the local crowd and later shared on social
media, highlighting his genuine care for children and his sportsmanship:
"Wholsome content @NicoJarry helps out a young spectator who has fallen ill
#ChinaOpen"
Jarry, who
is currently at the highest ranking of his career, had previously shown acts of
kindness towards children. In fact, during Wimbledon, after being defeated in
the third round by Carlos Alcaraz, the World No. 23 gave away his tennis
rackets to some children in the audience.
In Beijing
this time, Nicolas Jarry faced Stefanos Tsitsipas for the fourth time this year
and the fifth time in his career. Jarry claimed victory this year in Halle Open
and now in China, while the Greek defeated him in Monte-Carlo and Los Cabos.
Their
previous encounter was in the 2019 Libema Open, where the Chilean emerged
victorious, leaving their head-to-head record at 3-2 in Jarry's favor.
Jarry will
now compete in the round of 16 against the 22-year-old Matteo Arnaldi, another
surprise of the season currently ranked World No. 48. Arnaldi, who came through
the qualifying rounds, faced J.J. Wolf in the first round, also a qualifier,
and comfortably secured a 6-2, 6-2 victory

Although they have never faced each other on the ATP Tour, both players were on opposing sides just two weeks ago in the Davis Cup when Chile and Italy met. Nicolas Jarry played as the first singles player for Chile and lost to Lorenzo Sonego, while Matteo Arnaldi played in the second singles match against Cristian Garin and also secured victory.
The series ended 3-0 in favor of the Italians, earning them a spot in the final phase and eliminating the South American team.
