Atmane Wins Busan Challenger
Terence Atmane clinched the Busan Challenger title this Sunday in South Korea. The 23-year-old Frenchman, currently ranked 177th in the world, defeated the top seed, Adam Walton, in the final to claim his first title of 2025 (6-3, 6-4).
The left-hander fired 8 aces and converted 4 of the 7 break points he earned. After eliminating James McCabe (7-6, 7-6), Omar Jasika (6-3, 2-6, 6-4), Ilia Simakin (6-4, 1-6, 6-3), and Brandon Holt (7-6, 3-6, 6-4), Atmane, the No. 8 seed in the Korean city, overcame Walton, ranked 86th in the world and a Miami Masters 1000 quarterfinalist, to secure the tournament victory.
When the next ATP rankings are released this Monday, he will rise 41 spots to reach No. 136. It’s worth noting that Atmane is also entered in the South Korean tournament in Gwangju, where he is set to face Alibek Kachmazov in his opening match early next week.
