Fran Cerúndolo has made history at ATP Queen's 2026 by winning the most important title of his career and becoming the second Argentine tennis player in history to win more than one title on grass. Additionally, at the end of the match, he showed pride for his country and how well they compete despite not having the same facilities as others.
"My first ATP 500 and my second title of the year. It's been an incredible year for me, my brother, and Argentina, having 10 or 11 players in the top 100. Argentina is a wonderful country. We don't have the resources that others have, but we still compete at the highest level. I am very proud of my country," said Fran, visibly emotional after coming back to defeat Tommy Paul in the final and overcoming the challenges of the past few weeks.
"Argentina is a fantastic country. We don't have the resources that others have, but we still compete at the highest level.

Cerúndolo's Heartwarming Gesture to His Parents
Moreover, this title was doubly special as his parents were present in his box for the first time. Fran's father had never left Argentina to watch him play until today, and his son dedicated some beautiful words to him. "I want to thank my family, who just arrived for the last two games, coming all the way from Argentina. It's the first time my father took a flight to watch me play outside Argentina, so I want to thank him for that. Today is Father's Day in Argentina, so this is for you," he concluded.
