MONTEVIDEO, November 10, 2019

Federico Delbonis and Jaume Munar will compete in the singles final of the Uruguay Open hosted at the Carrasco Lawn Tennis Club in Montevideo. Delbonis emerged victorious from the all-Argentine affair against wild card entry Juan Manuel Cerundolo, winning  6-2, 7-6(4) on Saturday.

Delbonis and Munar will meet for the third time with their head-to-head record tied at 1-1. All of their previous matches took place earlier this season. Delbonis is seeking his 12th ATP Challenger career title, his second in 2019 following his triumph in Perugia, Italy. Munar could lift his fourth trophy, his first of the year.

Sunday’s action will start with the doubles final when Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos of Brazil will take on the all-Argentine combination of Facundo Bagnis and Andres Molteni.
