Top Seed Avila Takes Title
Alfredo Avila with the winner's trophy
Mexico’s Alfredo Avila was the victor on home soil at the NextCloud
Tekae TIPSSA Open, claiming his forth victory of the campaign.
Avila already had three wins to his name in the 2022-2023 season prior
to this event, and he came to Mexico City as the tournament’s top seed.
After receiving a bye through the opening round of action, the Mexican
defeated Paraguayan No.1 Francesco Marcantonio in straight games to get
his week underway. Another straight games wins came in the quarter
finals, as he cruised past compatriot Carlos Vargas.
His toughest test came in the last four of the competition, against the
unseeded Sebastian Salazar. After winning the opening two games
comfortably, he saw Salazar win the third to close the gap in the match.
However, Avila was able to regroup to win the fourth to the loss of just
three points, moving through to another final.
The final saw the tournament’s top seed on another unseeded Mexican, in
Jorge Gomez. However, there would be no surprises from Gomez, as Avila
put in a confident performance to win in straight games, and to claim
his fourth title of the season. |
