DARWIN BLANCH WINS THE ITF MEN'S 15 OF VILLENA

Blanch wins first professional tennis title by defeating England's Oliver Crawford, with ATP ranking 190.

First professional tennis title for the 17-year-old American who defeated the Englishman, Oliver Crawford, whose highest ATP ranking is 190, in a great comeback in which he managed to win after losing the first set. Crawford started the match aggressively, winning the first set in just over ten minutes and giving no chances. But the final was not going to end there: despite Blanch's nervous start, the American managed to pull himself together, raise his level and take advantage of Crawford's mistakes to win the second set.

Equality reigned in the last set and both players had a chance to be the champion of the tournament. However, as the points went by, Darwin showed more consistency and finally managed to win the match.
