The Spanish player Daniel Rincón has won two consecutive ITF category titles in his time in the Netherlands.
At 19 years old, Rincón premiered his professional record last week by being able to lift the title in the M15 of Alkmaar in a tournament that is played on clay. Seven days later, he has been champion again in a higher caliber category such as an M25 in Den Haag. Therefore, it has been two weeks where the Spaniard has shown the category that he had been presenting in the Juniors and that little by little he is showing his level to be able to make the jump to the Challenger circuit in a short time and continue with his progression. . In addition, he has already been able to see his potential in venues such as the Conde de Godó and Madrid during this year.
Corner and a great journey through the Netherlands
In Den Haag he had a tough fight in the final against the experienced local player Jelle Sels who is usually divided between Challenger tournaments and ITF M25 tournaments. It was a duel that had to be settled 7-6(6), 4-6, 6-1 in two hours and 29 minutes. A very hard-fought first set in which Rincón knew how to handle the decisive moments better, a second that also had his fight with Jele without lowering his arms and wanting to perform in the best way in front of his audience, but in the third, Daniel was much more solvent and managed open differences to get rid of the title of champion.
It has been a week where he had to start with a tough match against the Italian Jacopo Berrettini. They defined the date in the tie-break of the third set. Then came an Akira Santillan who also usually plays a lot on the Challenger circuit, but the Spaniard solved it in two sets, after he won the first one in sudden death. In the quarter-finals and semi-finals he faced two local players like Dax Donders and Michiel De Krom with whom he only lost two games in each match. Daniel Rincón with these two titles in the Netherlands and with a streak of 10 wins in a row will debut as a Top 500 tennis player.
