With the victory, the World No. 253 earned 75 ATP Ranking points and a prize money of $14,200, moving closer to his career-high ranking of World No. 187, reached earlier this year.

After the final, Vallejo thanked the local fans in Portuguese and praised his opponent: “We’ve known each other since we were kids, and I’m really happy he achieved the best result of his career. I hope he keeps going,” Vallejo said. “This was, if not the best, one of the best Challengers on the circuit. I hope to keep playing well and give it my all next week.”

Runner-up Boscardin enjoyed a breakthrough week. Starting in the qualifying, the Brazilian upset Top 100 players and seeded opponents on his way to his first Challenger final. Boscardin earned $8,330 and 44 ATP Ranking points, a result that will propel him into the Top 300 and close to his career-best ranking.

“It was a great week, I felt really good on court,” Boscardin said. “I came from qualifying and reached the final. I hope to keep this level in the next tournaments.”
