There is a before and after in the life of young Ignacio Buse after representing Team Perú in the Davis Cup . That participation allowed him to earn a name not only in his native country, but also abroad where they were amazed by his excellent level plus his youth and the few spotlights placed on him.
By winning a historic confrontation against Nicolás Jarry , Chile ‘s top racket ranked within the top-20 of the ATP ranking, he put Peru on its feet as he placed the team led by the legendary Nicolás Massú on the ropes . He also bordered on the epic, by demanding Alejandro Tabilo in a long match, which, finally, ended in victory for the southerners.
Despite the bitter defeat, the ‘ Colorado ‘ was received in the best possible way in Peru and had the approval of its captain Luis Horna , who recognized the important progression of the 19-year-old boy who eclipsed Juan Pablo Varillas , the racket major.
After completing his praiseworthy exhibition at the National Stadium in Santiago , he received an unbeatable proposal to make a radical change in his professional life. The opportunity to join one of the most important representation agencies in sports arrived at his doorstep.
Buse signs with Octagon
The promise of national tennis has sealed its link with Octagon , a worldwide representation agency that has elite tennis players such as Nicolás Jarry , Grigor Dimitrov , Bianca Andreescu and Marketa Vondrousova . Other athletes also appear, from different sports branches, such as the legendary swimmer Michael Phelps , the NBA genius Stephen Curry and the multi-winning gymnast Simone Biles .
Although Buse’s entourage did not announce the news, the one who did come forward was Pablo Arraya , a former national tennis player from the 1980s: “There was a contract signing. Ignacio Buse signs for one of the largest representations in the world: Octagon. Everything says that he is going to be a great tennis star.”
Once his incorporation into the Octagon brand was completed, it was learned that ‘ Colo ‘ was extended an invitation to compete in the ATP 250 in Santiago , which marks his first appearance in competitions of this type.
The news, in fact, was confirmed by Buse after his elimination in the M25 Vila Real de Santo Antonio : “Defeats like this hurt, a lot. Even more so after the good time that had just passed. You have to understand that everything is a process and that you have to go through these setbacks to get up and come back even stronger. Head up, this is just beginning.
