A great week for Dani Mérida at the Challenger 125 in Perugia. The Madrid native reached the final, falling to Portuguese player Henrique Rocha, securing his climb to #82 in the world rankings, his best historical ranking. Speaking after his last match with our friends from MEF Tennis Events, the tournament organizers, Dani highlighted that he made "the right decision" by coming to Italy this week, as he "was not certain" about going to Perugia after Roland Garros. "It has been a positive week, despite not winning the tournament. I have to congratulate Henrique, he played an incredible tennis and deservedly won the title; also my team, the fans who supported me and created an amazing atmosphere, and the organization", Mérida emphasized after his defeat. Now, a week's rest... and then onto the grass season.
