Spanish tennis player Rafa Jódar, 19, claimed his first ATP title on Sunday at the Marrakech 250 by beating Marco Trungelliti 6-3, 6-2. The Madrid native, ranked No. 1,771 a year ago, will rise to No. 57 in the world on Monday. He becomes the sixth Spaniard in the Open Era to win a tournament before age 20.
Eighteen-year-old wildcard Karim Bennani claimed his first ATP Tour win by defeating world No. 90 Quentin Halys 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-2 at the Grand Prix Hassan II in Marrakech. The victory ended an eight-year drought for Moroccan players on the tour. Bennani celebrated emotionally by throwing his racket and lying on the clay court amid crowd cheers.
