Carlos Berlocq and Gastao Elias will face off on Sunday in the final of the Buenos Aires ChallengerYou can watch and bet on the ATP Buenos Aires Challenger live for free at bet365 > live tennisCarlos Berlocq will be confronted with the challenge of Gastao Elias on Sunday as he bids to win this year’s Buenos Aires Challenger title. The world No. 65 has lived up to his billing so far as the top seed in this event, and all he needs to do now is get past the Portuguese youngster.
Elias is an up-and-coming talent, who has shot through the rankings at a rapid pace this season. He ranks just inside the top two hundred at the moment, and it will be intriguing to see how he builds upon this next year. He might struggle on Sunday against Berlocq, but this match will provide him with valuable experience at the very least.
Whilst Berlocq carries the weight of expectation heading into this match, it’s a little too early to rule out Elias. He was leading 6-0 2-2 against Julio Silva in the semi-finals, and this appeared to be due to an effective aggressive game, rather than the Brazilian’s injury. Berlocq is likely to prevail, but he’s not necessarily in for an easy match.
