Max Alcalá Gurri has just put on a real exhibition to defeat Federico Bondioli in the final of the Cordenons Challenger with a score of 6-2 6-0 in 1 hour and 16 minutes, allowing him to break into the top 200 in 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 a break conceded 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 to date. This year, Alcalá started playing ITF tournaments, but for a few weeks now, he had made the leap to the Challenger circuit, and this is the definitive confirmation that he is ready for more.
Alcalá Gurri gives up only 14 games in 4 matches
Starting from Monday, Max will be ranked 180th in the ATP rankings, and if he continues his good form, he could keep climbing positions at a rapid 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 in the entire tournament before lifting the trophy, and except for the semifinal match against Gonzalo Villanueva where both had to perform at their best, he has barely dropped 14 games throughout the week. Interestingly, he also defeated Giorgio Tabacco 6-0 6-2 in the first round, so in this final, he has closed a perfect circle with an immense performance that allows him to dream big and even think about playing the qualifiers of major tournaments not long from now.
