Arango will climb the ladder
Arango, which this week ranks as 304 in the world, managed to overcome in the final the main favorite of the tournament, the Chinese Xiyu Wang (137 in the world), by 6-3, 0-6 and 7-6 (0) in more than two and a half hours of match, thus closing a week with six victories and only one set yielded in the entire event.
The Antioqueña was able to recover from a break against in the final set to end up winning the match with a lot of authority in the tiebreak, and against a more experienced player who this year has played 10 WTA tournaments and the qualifying phase of Roland Garros and Wimbledon .
The high level of the final was shown throughout the week, where not only did she overcome the qualifying phase, but also prevailed against higher ranking players. Among them, she beat the Japanese Kurumi Nara, once the 32nd of the world and won a trophy at the WTA 250 level.
In this way, Arango will be breaking the barrier of the top-300 in the WTA ranking, which will allow him to be closer to being able to play the previous phases of the Grand Slam, tournaments in which he has not yet had the opportunity to debut.
For Alejandro Falla’s pupil it is the third title as a professional and the second he has achieved this season. Its premiere in the list of winners took place in 2017 when it conquered the W15 Antalya, in Turkey, while last September it took the crown of the W25 Medellín.
