In the party for the title, the Antioquia fell against the American Viva Jovic, just 17 years old, with partial 6-4 and 6-1, a duel in which he was affected by a disease that limited his performance.
At the end of the match, both players praised each other, in a tournament in which Jovic had also left Camila Osorio in the round of 16.
