His long journey at ATP Bucharest, where he reached his first professional final, has prevented Dani Mérida from competing this week at the Madrid Challenger. However, this hasn't stopped the Madrilenian from visiting the tournament and even speaking to the media. Focused on recovering and taking a few days off, his speech awakens the hope of a man who is on the verge of breaking into the top 100.

“Being #101 in the world is a dream come true for me, so close to the top 100. This is something that motivates me a lot, especially now that the clay court season is approaching, particularly after starting to play so well. I will try to get into the final draw of Grand Slams, which is a great motivation and thrill. The goal is to secure a direct entry to Roland Garros, without going through the qualifying rounds, something I've been dreaming of for a while. Now, it's time to rest and come back in two weeks for the Mutua,” Dani commented.
