Peru and Paraguay face off on Day 1 of the Davis Cup 2026 in a thrilling match at the Jockey Club del Peru. Ignacio Buse and Hernando Escurra are the stars of the first match in the World Group I series.
THIRD SET: Ignacio Buse finds himself in a tough spot with a score of 4-3 against him, as he receives instructions from his captain Luis Horna. Paraguayan Hernando Escurra has shown a solid serve, maintaining his dominance in the match.
During the third set, Escurra maintains his lead by winning the game, moving the score to 4-2. Buse, for his part, attempts to regain his rhythm but continues to face difficulties breaking the Paraguayan’s serve.
Despite his efforts, Buse falls again, surrendering his serve, similar to what happened in the second set. Escurra takes a significant step by going 2-0 ahead in the third set, showing confidence with complex shots that enhance his gameplay.
In the second set, Escurra levels the match by winning 6-4. His strategy of ‘drop shots’ has complicated Buse, who has yet to show his best version in this tournament, although the public’s support seems to strengthen his play.
The statistics from the first set reflect the performance of both players: Buse recorded four ‘aces’ and won 77% of points on his first serve, while Escurra remained competitive, also winning 77% of points on his first serve.
As the competition progresses, both teams from Peru and Paraguay appear well-prepared, and the atmosphere at the Jockey Club is one of total anticipation before the upcoming matches. The Davis Cup series continues as fans await to see who will advance in this prestigious tennis competition.
