Luca Van Assche wins first ATP title

Entities: France · Luca Van Assche · Estoril Open · Alexander Blockx · Andrey Rublev

Overview

In late July 2026, French 22‑year‑old Luca Van Assche captured his maiden ATP 250 title at the Estoril Open in Portugal, defeating Belgium’s Alexander Blockx 6‑4, 4‑6, 7‑5. The victory, achieved in a windy final, marked Van Assche’s breakthrough on the tour, moving him to a career‑high world No. 48 and placing him inside the top‑50 for the first time.

His win came after a notable upset of top seed Andrey Rublev in the quarter‑finals, and the triumph earned him roughly €93,000 in prize money. In post‑match comments, Van Assche highlighted the importance of physical conditioning and recovery, noting that the wind made serving difficult but his aggressive play helped secure the title. The tournament also saw French players claim the doubles crown, underscoring a strong week for French tennis.
