“We know each other very well and it’s always tough to play against Pedro,” Trungelliti said. “Today there was a little of wind, a new situation for this week. He did not play his best game and I took advantage of the situation.”

By lifting his second ATP Challenger career trophy following his maiden triumph in Barletta 2018, the World No. 205 takes away from Italy €6,190 in prize money as well as 80 ATP Ranking points.
