Etcheverry Continues Solid Season

Tomas Martin Etcheverry is coming off a strong Miami campaign, where he reached the fourth round before losing to Tommy Paul, marking his best Masters result. 

The Argentine has also impressed earlier this season, winning his maiden tour-level title in Rio, along with a semifinal in Buenos Aires and a third-round run at the Australian Open, pushing him close to the top 30. 

This will be his fourth appearance in Houston. He reached the final on debut in 2023 and the semifinal in 2024, though he suffered an opening-round exit last year.

Gomez Earns Main Draw Return

Federico Agustín Gomez qualified for the main draw in Houston with back-to-back wins over Andrej Martin and Clement Tabur. It marks his first main-draw appearance here after failing in qualifying last year. 

He arrives on a five-match losing streak across all levels. His only notable run this season was a final in the Chennai Challenger, which also accounts for his only main-draw wins of the year. 

The 29-year-old has played five tour-level main draws before, winning his opening match twice, including second-round runs in Chengdu 2024 and Roland Garros 2025.
