Tomas Martin Etcheverry is one win away from his first ATP title.

The 24-year-old Argentine professional tennis player, the No 6 seed, defeated Italian Luciano Darderi 6-2, 6-4 to advance to the final of the Lyon Open at Parc de la Tête d’or on Friday.

The win, his 50th on the ATP Tour, puts him into his third career main ATP level final after Santiago and Houston in 2023 and he’ll be aiming to win his first ATP title on Saturday.

Etcheverry, ranked No 29, will play the winner of the match between French wildcard Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Kazakh Alexander Bublik, the second seed, next.

The Argentine beat Spanish qualifier Nikolas Sanchez Izquierdo (1-6, 6-2, 6-2), Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild (7-5, 3-0 ret.) and German Dominik Koepfer (6-4, 6-1) earlier in the week.

The match lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes.
