from The Challenger Corner · host Raz
In the second week of Rome (1000), 7 ATP Challenger tournaments filled the "void" (of the 2-week Masters 1000), 2 of them were the 175s. How epic were the Bordeaux and Valencia Challengers this year, and how classic was Juan Manuel Cerundolo's final against Raphael Collignon at the former? How about how close Jan Choinski was to the Top 100 debut, thanks to his Zagreb Challenger title, and the return of Laslo Djere in the Oeiras 4 Challenger? Dive deep into the journeys of the week through this episode: it was an absolute banger of a week.By the way, I've been covering the Challenger Tour and other lower-tier circuits as a fan, so if you enjoy the podcast or the overall work, I have a support link. No pressure at all, but it would help support this project.Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/stateofsport211 Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/stateofsport211Episode notes:0:00 Intro0:33 The 175 Notes9:22 Weekly finals recap9:22 Oeiras 412:46 Bengaluru 216:26 Tunis19:43 Cordoba (ARG)24:41 Zagreb30:33 Valencia35:12 Bordeaux42:34 Trajectory watch46:03 Classics shoutouts50:45 Doubles watch53:54 WTA 125 watch56:42 ITF (select) singles winners' shoutout59:45 Next week's (broad) overview + closing
