Max Alcalá Gurri has just put on a real exhibition to defeat Federico Bondioli in the final of the Cordenons Challenger with a scoreline of 6-2 6-0 in 1 hour and 16 minutes, allowing him to break into the top 200 of the ATP rankings for the first time in his career at 23 years old. 

Despite playing against the crowd, the Spanish tennis player did not give his opponent any chance beyond conceding a break in the second game of the match. In fact, Bondioli barely won a game on his serve and was overwhelmed by Max's level, who has shown to be at a higher level than his ranking suggests today. This year, Alcalá started playing ITF tournaments, but a few weeks ago he made the leap to the Challenger circuit, and this is the definitive confirmation that he is ready for more.

Alcalá Gurri only concedes 14 games in 4 matches

Starting from Monday, Max will be listed as 180th in the ATP rankings, and if he maintains his good form, he could continue to climb positions at a swift pace. Tennis is ultimately a matter of confidence beyond talent, and right now the Spaniard is at the peak of his career. 

Alcalá has only lost one set throughout the tournament before lifting the title, and aside from the semifinal match against Gonzalo Villanueva where both had to perform at their best, he has barely conceded 14 games throughout the week. Interestingly, in the first round, he also defeated Giorgio Tabacco 6-0 6-2, so in this final, he has closed a perfect circle with an outstanding performance that allows him to dream big and even think about playing in the qualifiers of the major tournaments in the not too distant future.
