Tuesday Morning Man: Cristian Garin!

It’s always so exciting to see new tennis stars burst upon the tennis scene.

Meet Cristian Garin who on Sunday won the Rio Open to take his second tournament title of 2020 and fourth of his young career.

The handsome Chilean has won a personal-best nine consecutive matches after also triumphing earlier this month at the Cordoba Open in Argentina.

“I think this is a gift from all those years working hard, suffering. This is my dream. I’m enjoying it,” Garin said after his latest win. “I didn’t expect this ever in my life. I’m so, so happy. … I’m really emotional and winning the Rio Open means a lot to me. It’s hard to describe this past week. I slept only four or five hours and woke up nervous this morning and it ended up being one of the best days of my life.”

Garin is now ranked a career-high 18th in the world.

Maybe he will be the one to finally beat Rafael Nadal at the French Open.
