This is how the singles and doubles finals of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo in Los Cabos were experienced
Jordan Thompson has been crowned the new champion of the Mifel Tennis Open by Telcel Oppo in Los Cabos. The Australian tennis player, 29 years old and ranked number 40 in the world, lifted his first title in his professional career after a week full of success in Mexico.
In the ATP 250 final, Thompson defeated Norwegian Casper Ruud, who is ranked number 12 in the world. The Australian surprised his rivals and the fans in one of the most competitive draws in the history of this tournament, demonstrating his excellent level of play.
During the tournament, Thompson staged the best comeback of the week in the quarterfinals, eliminated the favorite Alexander Zverev in the semifinals (who is ranked number 6 in the world) and won the final against Ruud in a match that lasted 2 hours and 2 minutes, with a score of 6-3, 7-6(4).
Ruud, for his part, recognized Thompson's talent and effort and congratulated his team during the awards ceremony. In the match, the Norwegian committed three double faults and was erratic with his first serve, which prevented him from saving his opponent's break points.
The second set was more even and was decided in a tiebreak after one hour and 10 minutes of play. Thompson was solid at this stage and throughout the match, taking advantage of every opportunity to maintain his advantage and show his mental strength.
After this victory, Jordan Thompson will rise to number 35 in the world rankings, the best position of his career so far. This victory gives him confidence and motivation ahead of his participation in the next Mexican Open.
The Australian had a historic day in his career, since after winning the singles title, he played two doubles matches in less than eight hours and five hours on the court in the same day. Together with his partner Max Purcell, Thompson defeated the pairing of Ruud and William Blumberg in the semifinal, and later won the doubles final against Gonzalo Escobar and Aleksandr Nedovyesov in two sets and a tiebreak 7-5, 7-6 ( 2)..
With this outstanding performance and his double victory in singles and doubles, Jordan Thompson will leave his name etched in the ATP history books. His skill, determination and physical stamina proved to be key to his success in this tournament. Without a doubt, this young Australian tennis player will continue to delight us with his talent in future events.
