Pedro Martínez falls in the final of the Genoa Challenger against Seyboth Wild

Pedro Martínez was unable to complete his dream week at the Challenger in Genoa with the title, as today Thiago Seyboth Wild clearly won with a score of 6-4 6-2 to increase his accolades in a year where he has found his place on the Challenger circuit. Still, it was a very positive week for the Spanish tennis player, who will move up several spots in the ranking. 

The first set was key to the outcome of the match. The Brazilian player started with an early break, but the response from the Spaniard was swift. From that moment on, the match was very evenly matched until at 5-4 Seyboth managed a break that was a blow for Martínez. In fact, as soon as the second set began, Thiago achieved another break that put him a step away from the title, and he finished with a definitive 6-2 to lift his third Challenger title of the season.

Seyboth and Martínez rise in the ranking

With this victory, Seyboth Wild will rise to 141st place in the ATP ranking starting next Monday, although he is still far from the top 60 he reached not too long ago. When he is in good form, the Brazilian player is very dangerous, but for now, his career has suffered too many ups and downs that are preventing him from reaching the higher ranks of the standings.

Pedro, for his part, will rise to 132nd place in the ATP ranking. Like Seyboth, the Spanish player is still far from the player he once was, having reached number 36 in the world, but a week like this will give him the motivation to continue in good form and arrive in a good rhythm for the final stretch of the season. This defeat is a harsh blow due to the manner in which it occurred, but overall it has been a week that can serve him well.
