Santiago ATP 250

My last tournament in the South American swing and again a very beautiful club and nature, reminded me a little bit of Norway.

Different conditions again and I struggled a little in the start. Managed to get through first round against Tabilo to then win a tough match against Delbonis. In the semis I was up against Ramos Vinolas who has beaten me four times. But finally, I managed to win on my fifth try winning the first set on a tie break and the second by 6-2. A good victory for me. With the win I also beat my dad´s best ranking of 39 and became the highest ranked Norwegian player ever. In the final I lost against Seyboth Wild in three sets. Another good week for me in South America where I enjoy playing with good crowds.
