The 36-year-old Argentine tennis player Marco Trungelliti lost in the final of the tournament in Marrakech to the Spaniard Rafael Jódar with a score of 6-3, 6-2. This week was historic for the Argentine, as he played his first ATP final, became the oldest debutant in a final, and entered the top 100 of the world rankings for the first time. In the final, the Santiago native could not maintain the pace set by his opponent, who was 17 years younger. The Spaniard dominated from the start of the match. In the first set, Jódar broke Trungelliti's serve in the opening game and confidently won the set 6-3. In the second set, the situation did not change. The Spanish player held his serve and secured the advantage with another break, finishing the match with a score of 6-2. Despite the defeat, this week was the best of Trungelliti's career. He qualified for the main draw and defeated opponents such as Rocha, Majchrzak, Moutet, and the defending champion Darderi to reach the final in Morocco. On the other hand, Jódar had a solid run through the tournament, defeating players like Lajovic, Machac, Muller, and Carabelli in the semifinals to claim his first title in the main ATP tour.
