FIP Rise Viña del Mar, First CUPRA FIP Tour title for Yob and Puppo

The withdrawal of Matias Emmanuel Del Moral and Santiago Frugoni gave Leonardo Yob and Luciano Puppo a place among the seeded players at the FIP Rise in Viña del Mar (Chile). And the two Argentines immediately made the most of the opportunity, winning their first title on the CUPRA FIP Tour. In the final, Yob and Puppo overcame 7-5 6-3 compatriots Manuel Gayone and Axel William Guevara, after eliminating number 1 seed Maxi Sanchez Blasco and Federico Chiostri in the semifinals.

“I’m very happy to be able to win a tournament today, considering how difficult it was”, Puppo said. “Thanks to those who always support us in good and bad times, we keep going. Thank you ‘Leito’ for this tournament, I really enjoyed playing with you”. With this victory, which guarantees 31 points in the FIP ranking, Yob climbs to number 250, while Puppo goes up to number 211.
