The Challenger 125 tournament in Rosario concluded this week, with Camilo Ugo Carabelli defending his title for the second consecutive year. According to the Argentine News Agency, the stands were packed for most of the competition. The event also featured a food court and stalls from various brands. On the sporting side, the champion was once again Camilo Ugo Carabelli, who was the top seed and won the trophy in both editions of the Rosario tournament. The competition was held at the traditional Jockey Club of Rosario, which met all expectations. In the final, Carabelli faced off against Román Burruchaga. The tournament also featured memorable moments, such as the intense battle in the quarterfinals between Ugo Carabelli and Facundo Díaz Acosta, and the match between Juan Manuel Cerúndolo and Juan Bautista Torres, which 'Juanma' won despite suffering a cramp in his left quadriceps. However, there were also negative aspects. Some players, including Burruchaga and Spaniard Nikolas Sánchez Izquierdo, received threatening phone calls. In both cases, the organizers acted quickly to ensure their safety. The match against the Spaniard was postponed for nearly two hours and played behind closed doors, while 'Burru' had 24-hour police protection and officers present on-site during the final days of the competition. Overall, the tournament was highly praised by the players and has solidified its place on the circuit.
