Royer wins the Kigali 2 Challenger and moves closer to the Top 100
It must be acknowledged that Rwanda has been successful for Valentin Royer. He has won back-to-back the two Challengers held in Kigali.
He defeated Guy Den Ouden in the final of Kigali 2 this Sunday with a score of 6-2, 6-4.
This victory allows him to rank 119th in the live rankings, a good omen for Roland-Garros.
The Frenchman will need to confirm his good results, as despite his 10 victories, he has not faced a player ranked beyond the 250th place worldwide.
