Tomas Machac, the talented Czech tennis player, clinched his first ATP title on Saturday at the Mexico Open in Acapulco. In a thrilling final match, Machac defeated Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina with a score of 7-6 (8/6), 6-2.
Machac, who was seeded eighth in the tournament and ranked 65th in the world just a year ago, has seen a remarkable rise in his career. With this victory, he is expected to break into the top 20 when the new rankings are released on Monday.
The 24-year-old displayed an impressive serving performance during the final, winning 37 out of 39 first-serve points. He showed great resilience by saving a set point at 5/6 in the first set tiebreak with a powerful serve that forced an error from his opponent.
Additionally, Machac showcased his skills from the baseline, using his forehand to dominate rallies and control the pace of the game. This victory marks his second win against Davidovich, who is currently ranked 48th in the world.
By winning the Mexico Open, Machac becomes the second Czech player to achieve this feat, following in the footsteps of Jiri Novak who won the tournament in 1998. He joins the ranks of players who have secured their first ATP title this season, including Alexandre Muller and Joao Fonseca.
