“I am very happy to win the title here in Bordeaux. It was an amazing match and a great battle with a lot of long rallies,” Cerundolo said after the final. “It was a great match for me. I came back from a set down. That makes it even better.”
With the triumph, Cerundolo succeeded Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard on the tournament’s roll of honor. The Buenos Aires native secured his 12th ATP Challenger Tour title, and his first of the season, while also earning €43,635 and 175 ATP ranking points. He has now reached a new career-high of world No. 54.
“That’s great, a dream being ranked that high, but I still need to keep improving,” said Cerundolo.
