Hugo Dellien wins Guayaquil Challenger title

Bolivian tennis player Hugo Dellien won the Guayaquil Challenger title after defeating Uruguay's Joaquin Aguilar Cardozo. The final was disrupted by heavy rain throughout the week, forcing officials to move the match from clay courts to hard courts at the Guayaquil Tennis Club Anexo.

Dellien led the match 7-5, 1-0 before Aguilar Cardozo retired due to a back injury. This victory marks Dellien's 17th career Challenger title and his third of the season. The win is expected to move him up 12 positions in the ATP rankings to number 107.

Aguilar Cardozo, 21, earned 44 ranking points and a prize of US$ 9,600 for his first career Challenger final appearance. Dellien will receive US$ 17,000 for the championship and has announced he will skip the upcoming Costa do Sauipe Challenger to recover from fatigue.
