Tomás MartÃn Etcheverry is enjoying a significant week on the ATP Tour, highlighted by a milestone achievement at the Rio Open presented by Claro. The Argentine secured his 100th career victory on the tour on Friday, advancing to the semifinals in the process.
Reaching a Century of Wins
Etcheverry defeated Jaime Faria 7-6(4), 6-4 in the quarterfinals, becoming only the third active Argentine player to reach 100 ATP Tour match wins. He joins Francisco Cerúndolo and Sebastián Báez in this exclusive group.

Climbing the Rankings
This performance in Rio is also impacting Etcheverry’s ranking. His quarterfinal run guarantees a return to the Top 50 in the PIF ATP Rankings as of Monday, a position he last held in April 2025. Following his victory over Faria, where he saved all five break points he faced, he has risen to No. 40 in the live ranking.
A potential victory in the semifinals against Vit Kopriva – who defeated Juan Manuel Cerúndolo 6-4, 6-4 – would elevate Etcheverry to No. 36 in the live ranking and secure his place in his fourth ATP final (and first at a tournament level higher than an ATP 250).
