Joel Schwaerzler has captured the title of the Mazovia Open. The No. 3 seed of the ATP Challenger 75 hard-court tournament in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Poland defeated fourth favourite Andrea Guerrieri of Italy 7-6(4), 6-1 in Sunday’s singles final.

Schwaerzler struck eight aces and won 80 per cent of his first-service points to secure victory in one hour and 27 minutes.

The 20-year-old Austrian captured his third career title on the Challenger Tour following his triumphs in Skopje, North Macedonia 2024 and the Rwanda Challenger in Kigali earlier this season.

Schwaerzler earned €15,510 in prize money as well as 75 ATP Ranking points and rises 37 spots to break into the Top 150 for the first time. He is currently projected at a career-high No. 149 in the Live Rankings, a new milestone for the left-hander.
