Camilo Ugo Carabelli (112°) fulfilled the obligation that the trophy of the Villa María challengerin Córdoba, will stay in Argentina. In a final that was played as such, with the advantage of one, the tie of the other and without the possibility of predicting results until the last ball was resolved, The man from Buenos Aires defeated the Dutchman Jesper de Jong (118th) 7-6 (3), 3-6 and 6-4 and became champion.

The more than three hours of activity (3h2m, to be exact) show what a match it was. After a first set won in the tie-break and a second that got out of hand, since he was losing it 5-1 that he decorated with some games wonwas forced to close it out in the third. And, in the same vein as the rest of the crossing, it was not easy at all…

The 4-0 with which he launched, after two breaks and two successful serves, became a 5-4 that left the match in the air. Fortunately for Camilo, a last game that could have gone either way – it was decided with an advantage – ended up in his hands. There he was able to free himself, throw himself on the floor, let out a scream that echoed among the stands and hug his loved ones.

The 25-year-old tennis player’s season is being hellishwith many arrivals at the defining stages and, in most cases, coronations to highlight them: he had already won the Piracicaba challenger, in February, and Santa Cruz, in March, so this was his third conquest of the year (In addition, he reached the finals in Poznan and Karlsruhe in June and July, respectively). In the historical record, It was the seventh in tournaments of this caliber.

Another reason to be happy is because of the ATP ranking, which saw him be 91st a few months ago, fall in the qualifier and once again get close to the top 100: With this victory, he will go from 112th place to 104th.
