How did Colton Smith also win his first Challenger title outdoors a year after becoming the runner-up in the Birmingham Challenger this time last year? Who from last week's 5 champions won their maiden Challenger title, and what does it mean for their breakthrough? Follow through this episode for stories like these coming from last 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.
