Paul Jubb has capped a brilliant week in South America and clinched his maiden title on the ATP Challenger Tour. The 22-year-old Englishman lifted the trophy of the Dove Men & Care Challenger Bolivia 2 hosted by the Club de Tenis Santa Cruz.
Jubb defeated Juan Pablo Varillas from Peru, No. 3 seed of the $53,120 clay-court event 6-3, 7-6(5) in Sunday’s singles final. The World No. 296, who didn’t drop a set all week, won 73 per cent of his first-service points and capitalized on two of his four break-point chances to seal victory in one hour and 38 minutes.
Jubb played college tennis in the United States and won the singles title at the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Tennis Championship as a member of the South Carolina Gamecocks but has already made a name of his himself on the Pro Circuit by claiming seven titles on the ITF World Tennis Tour.
The native earned $7,200 in prize money as well as 80 ATP Ranking points. Jubb is projected to rise to 228th in the ATP Rankings and 117th in the ATP Race. Read More...
