Pedro Cachín beat Marco Trungelliti in the final between Argentines (6-3, 6-7 and 6-3) to win the Challenger Comunidad de Madrid played throughout this week at the Club de Campo facilities.
The 27-year-old tennis player from Córdoba took two hours and 19 minutes to achieve the third challenger title of his career after the one in Seville in 2015 and the one in Oreiras, Portugal, in 2021.
Cachín, based in Barcelona and trained by Alex Corretja and currently ranked 212th in the ATP ranking (until this Monday, where it will be like 174°), stopped the reaction of his rival (194th) who won the second set in the tiebreaker and extended the match until the last set to decide the champion of the event.
Cachín recovered his pulse, executioner in the semifinals of the Spanish Roberto Carballés, first favorite, who achieved the third victory in five confrontations against his compatriot with whom he had lost in the previous phase of the last Australian Open, the last time that both had coincided in a track.
