Nico Jarry explains why he will not be in the upcoming Davis Cup series against Spain
The Chilean, who has not competed since mid-April, updated his condition to explain his absence in the upcoming Davis Cup qualifiers. When will he be able to return to the circuit?
Nicolás Jarry is beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel after several months away from competition. The Chilean tennis player, currently outside the top 700 of the ATP ranking, has not played an official match since mid-April due to an elbow injury that has completely affected his season.
After spending months in Chile focused on his recovery, the former world number 16 has now set a window to return to the courts: the Challenger tournaments in South America at the end of the year. However, the process is taking longer than he initially expected. Jarry acknowledged that he has been home for a couple of months trying to recover his elbow, but the evolution of the injury is “slower than desired.” In fact, the Chilean has had to give up a significant part of the season and will also miss the tie of the Davis Cup against Spain, scheduled for September 19 and 20.
Although he is not part of the call-up, Jarry has confirmed that he will attend the event to support his teammates. “I’m giving my all day by day, doing the right things to recover so that the elbow issue is no longer a concern when I return to compete. I hope to be able to play again by the end of the year in the South American Challengers. The recovery has been slower than I would have liked, but I’m working to ensure that when I return, I can do so without the elbow causing problems again,” the Chilean explained.
Nico Jarry reveals when he might return to the circuit
The situation represents another blow for a player who once ranked 16th in the world and had established himself among the best in the circuit in recent years. Jarry reached the final of the ATP in Santiago in 2023 and then had a great 2024 season, reaching the semifinals of the Masters 1000 in Rome and achieving the best ranking of his career. Now, however, his ranking has plummeted due to the prolonged absence, and he will have to rebuild his position practically from scratch.
Thus, the goal is not only to return but to do so under conditions that allow him to progressively regain his level. The South American Challengers appear to be the most likely setting for that awaited return, although Jarry prefers not to set a specific date yet. After several months of rehabilitation, the Chilean wants to end the year where he loves to be, returning to compete and leaving behind the physical problems that have hindered his career.
