Jacquet vs Etcheverry Prediction 25 September 2026
🔊 Tomas Martin Etcheverry, the third seed at the ATP 250 in Hangzhou, enters the tournament from the second round, where he faces Kyrian Jacquet. He will be defending the ranking points he earned by reaching the quarter-finals here last year. Jacquet is making his debut at this tournament and has already picked up his first win on Chinese courts, though it came at a cost - he needed three sets to get past Aleksandar Vukic. Whether that kind of emotional momentum alone will be enough for him to trouble the world No. 30 from Argentina remains to be seen.
Head-to-Head
📊 Kyrian Jacquet and Tomas Martin Etcheverry have never previously met.
Kyrian Jacquet Player Overview
Kyrian Jacquet has won five of his last ten matches. He failed to get past the first round at any of the North American hard-court tournaments, including the second-tier events. Jacquet ended that losing run in Hangzhou, where he came through a tough opener against Aleksandar Vukic 7-6, 3-6, 6-3. Extended matches are nothing new for him: his average match length is 24.6 games, of which he wins exactly half. His set-winning percentage stands at 52%. Those numbers might be higher were it not for his serve, which he holds in only 73% of service games - due in no small part to a modest first-serve percentage of 54%.

Tomas Martin Etcheverry Player Overview
Tomas Martin Etcheverry is ranked higher at 30th and arrived at this tournament off a solid US Open, where he reached the second week. That said, over the same period he suffered six straight-set defeats, which dragged his set-winning percentage down to 26%. He showed his best form only in New York - before the Major, on the summer hard-court swing, he was on a three-match losing streak. Despite a high hold percentage (86%) and a high first-serve percentage (69%), his overall balance in points won and sets won remains negative.

Key factors
- Kyrian Jacquet is making his ATP 250 debut at the Hangzhou tournament.
- Tomas Martin Etcheverry is defending ranking points from last year's quarter-final run.
- The Argentine has a more powerful and consistent serve, holding in 86% of service games.
- The Frenchman holds only 73% of his service games and lands his first serve at 54%.
Expected scenario
Tomas Martin Etcheverry will look to take control from the start with a powerful serve and heavy groundstrokes, keeping his less experienced opponent on the defensive. Kyrian Jacquet, buoyed by breaking into the top 100 after winning his first title, is likely to rely on grinding tennis, extended rallies and counter-attacking. The Frenchman will try to exploit any early rhythm issues from the Argentine, who may need time to settle on the local courts having sat out the first round.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Tomás Martín Etcheverry's superiority in class, consistency following a strong US Open, and physical freshness from a first-round bye in Hangzhou should be the decisive factor. The Argentine will methodically wear down Kyrian Jacquet's defences and is likely to come through - particularly if the Frenchman cannot produce an extraordinary level of aggression that, after a gruelling three-set match against Vukic, would be very difficult to sustain throughout. Our pick is Etcheverry to win.
