Cristian Garín continues his impressive run on the ATP Challenger circuit, securing his second consecutive title with a hard-fought win at the Oeiras Open 5. The Chilean, a former top 20 player, defeated American Mitchell Krueger in a three-set battle, prevailing 7-6 (7-3), 4-6, 6-2.
This triumph marks Garín’s tenth consecutive win, following his success at the Mauthausen Challenger just days earlier. His dominant performances over the past two weeks have solidified his status as one of the strongest contenders heading into the Roland Garros qualifying rounds.
Despite his recent success, the physical toll of back-to-back tournaments will be a challenge. With little time to recover, Garín will need to manage his fatigue as he prepares for the grueling clay-court battles ahead in Paris. His experience and skill on the surface make him a favorite to advance, but endurance will be a key factor in his quest for a main draw spot at the French Open.
