ATP Challenger Tour tennis results

Overview

In late October 2026, several ATP Challenger 75 tournaments took place in South America.

At the Cali Challenger in Colombia, Juan Manuel La Serna advanced to the round of 16 after Hugo Dellien was forced to retire during the first round due to physical discomfort while trailing 6-3, 2-0. Other notable results in Cali included wins by Carlos María Zárate, Juan Bautista Torres, and Santiago Rodríguez Taverna, who won a marathon match lasting over three hours. However, Nicolás Kicker was eliminated by Diego Dedura, and Juan Pablo Ficovich lost to Felipe Meligeni Alves.

In the Guayaquil Challenger in Ecuador, Hugo Dellien secured a significant victory by defeating the second seed and former world number 16 Nicolás Jarry in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3. Dellien later advanced to the semifinals after a dominant 6-0, 6-2 win over Argentina’s Carlos María Zárate. In the semifinals, Dellien defeated Argentina’s Valerio Aboian in two sets, 7-6(7), 6-2, in a match lasting two hours and seven minutes, to reach the final. This marked Dellien's second appearance in the Guayaquil final, following a runner-up finish in 2019.

The Guayaquil tournament faced early disruptions due to heavy rain, necessitating the rescheduling of multiple matches. In the final, Dellien defeated Uruguay's Joaquin Aguilar Cardozo to claim the title. The match was moved from clay to hard courts at the Guayaquil Tennis Club Anexo due to persistent rain. Dellien led 7-5, 1-0 before Aguilar Cardozo retired because of a back injury. This victory was Dellien's 17th career Challenger title and his third of the season, which is expected to move his ATP ranking to number 107. Dellien announced he will skip the upcoming Costa do Sauipe Challenger to recover from fatigue.
