In the news

““It’s a dream come true. I’ve been working so hard with my team. I lost three finals before, so it was in my head.””

How they play

Playing style

Etcheverry is a tall, baseline-first player who prefers building points with heavy topspin and depth, especially on clay, where he can use his height to drive through the court and open angles. He looks to control rallies with a strong forehand pattern and uses his two-handed backhand mainly to redirect and hold the line until he can step around. At his best he competes with high physical resilience in long matches, a trait highlighted during his Rio title run, and he’s most dangerous when he can dictate with first-strike forehands after a solid first serve.

Serve

He uses his 6'5" frame to create a heavy first serve that sets up plus-one forehands, and he’s comfortable serving into the body to jam returners. The second serve is typically safer with more spin, and opponents try to step in when it sits up.

Groundstrokes

The forehand is his primary weapon,heavy, deep and used to run patterns crosscourt before changing direction. The two-handed backhand is steady and used to absorb pace, but he can be rushed when opponents take time away early in rallies.

Movement

For a big man he covers the baseline well and can extend points on clay, but quicker, low-bouncing courts can expose his first step. He’s most comfortable sliding and defending on clay, where his endurance in long matches is a plus.

Weakness

A recurring issue is converting chances against elite opposition: he has struggled to post wins over Top 10 players, and opponents look to take the initiative early to prevent him from settling into rhythm. Fast, aggressive returners can also pressure his second serve and shorten points before his forehand patterns develop.

Notable rivalries

Alejandro Tabilo

They met in the 2026 Rio Open final, where Etcheverry rallied from a set down to claim his first ATP title. That match is their defining reference point so far at tour level.

Nicolás Jarry

Etcheverry’s first tour-level final came against Jarry at the 2023 Chile Open, where Jarry won a tight three-set match after two tie-break sets. Their meetings have often come on clay in South American swing conditions.

Carlos Alcaraz

Etcheverry pushed Alcaraz to three sets in Monte Carlo 2026 before losing in the round of 16, a match noted for Etcheverry’s ability to disrupt Alcaraz’s rhythm for stretches. It’s also emblematic of Etcheverry’s wider difficulty converting chances against top-tier opponents.
