Dino Prizmic advanced to the Round of 16 at the ATP Santiago hard court event on February 24, 2026, defeating Chilean Nicolas Jarry 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 in a three-set contest. Prizmic dominated the error count—committing just 9 unforced errors to Jarry’s 19—and converted 5 of 13 break point opportunities to secure the victory in front of a home crowd for Jarry.
Prizmic seized control early, breaking twice in the opening set while Jarry struggled to find rhythm. The Chilean steadied in the second, saving break points and capitalizing on one of his few chances to level the match at a set apiece. But Prizmic’s consistency reasserted itself in the decider: he raced to a 4-1 lead and never looked back, wrapping up the third set 6-2 as Jarry’s error count mounted.
The Croatian’s ability to win 70% of first serve points—despite landing only 55% of first serves—proved decisive. Jarry, who hit 4 aces and won 61% on his first delivery, couldn’t sustain his level when forced into rallies. Prizmic’s superior second serve (59% points won vs. 50%) and sharper shot-making (22 winners to 18) carried him through the crucial moments.

Player Analysis
Dino Prizmic
Prizmic’s performance was built on consistency and opportunism. His 9 unforced errors across 22 games represented remarkable discipline, and his ability to win 59% of second serve points—compared to Jarry’s 50%—kept the Chilean under constant pressure. Prizmic’s 7 aces were well-timed, helping him hold serve in critical moments, and his 22 winners showed he wasn’t content to simply grind: he looked to dictate when the opening appeared.
The Croatian’s break point conversion wasn’t stellar at 5 of 13, but he created enough chances to compensate. His composure in the deciding set—racing to 4-1 and closing out 6-2—demonstrated the mental strength needed to finish a match on a hostile court. If he can improve his first serve percentage (55% won’t suffice against top-tier opponents), Prizmic has the baseline game to trouble anyone on hard courts.
Nicolas Jarry
Jarry’s 19 unforced errors—more than double Prizmic’s tally—told the story of his undoing. The three-time ATP titlist served well enough (69% first serves, 4 aces) but couldn’t maintain consistency from the baseline. His second serve became a liability: winning only 50% of those points invited Prizmic to step inside the court and attack. Jarry’s 3-for-4 break point conversion showed he was dangerous when presented with chances, but generating only 4 opportunities all match meant he was constantly defending rather than threatening.
The Chilean fought back admirably to claim the second set, saving multiple break points and finding his range at 5-5. But the third set collapse—surrendering 5 of the 8 games—suggested fatigue or frustration. Jarry’s shot selection became erratic, and his error count ballooned. On home soil in Santiago, he’ll rue the missed opportunity to leverage crowd support into a deeper run.
