Cameron Norrie survived a first flight scare and a pair of rain delays to advance to the semi-finals of the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires.
The British No 1 dropped the opener to home favorite Tomas Martin Etcheverry but stormed back after the first break and eventually won 5-7 6-0 6-3.
Norrie’s hopes of reaching his second tour semi-final of the season looked in doubt as Etcheverry, world number 82, played confidently in front of the home crowd to take the opener.
But he responded by adapting to the game and capitalized as he stormed into the second set before maintaining top position in a decider that was also split due to rain.
Norrie will face third seed Lorenzo Musetti or Peruvian qualifier Juan Pablo Varillas in the semifinals.
Top seed Carlos Alcaraz will face Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic and Francisco Cerundolo in another Bernabe Zapata Miralles match on Friday.
Iga Swiatek continued her good form at the Qatar Open, defeating Veronika Kudermetova in straight sets. She will face Jessica Pegula in the final, after the American defeated Maria Sakkari 6-2 4-6 6-1.
