Nikolas Sanchez Izquierdo won his second Challenger title of his career, and second this year, in an epic fight at the Szczecin event. He moves up to #154, which is the highest ranking he’s been.
Darwin Blanch took home his first Challenger trophy, and finds himself at a career high of #166. Also now at career highs are Marat Sharipov, Carlo Alberto Caniato, and Ilia Simakin, who just won back-to-back titles in Phan Thiet.
