Luka Pavlovic has put the finishing touch on a dream week with a great victory against his compatriot Matteo Martineau that has allowed him to lift the title at the ATP Challenger in El Espinar (Segovia) with a score of 6-4 3-6 6-1 after 1 hour and 55 minutes of battle.

Pavlovic had been suffering from poor results in the various tournaments he had played in recent weeks, but in El Espinar, he has excelled throughout the entire week. In the first round, he had to come from behind against Takuya Kumasaka after losing the first set, but from then on, he did not drop a set throughout the tournament until the final day, where he had to fight hard against Martineau to win the first Challenger tournament of his career.

Pavlovic starts off 2026 with his first Challenger in singles and doubles

Until 2026, Pavlovic had not won any titles at this level, but in recent months he has relieved some pressure both in singles and doubles. In March, Luka won the title at the Challenger in Kigali alongside Stefan Latinovic, and a few months later, he did it on his own in a match where he pulled off an almost perfect third set in which he gave no chances to Martineau.

With this title, Pavlovic will rise to number 208 in the world rankings, on the verge of breaking into the top 200 once again. The French tennis player had previously been ranked number 184 in the world, so his goal is to climb in the rankings again to have the opportunity to play in better tournaments and advance in his career. At 26 years old, he knows he still has time to aim for more in his goals, making today a significant day for him.
