In three years, he won three championships in the China season of the Challenger and became the biggest koi

As we all know, in the past few years, as Chinese men's tennis players have made breakthroughs at all levels of events, more and more tournaments have been held in China, which has enabled Chinese players to train and improve on the one hand, and on the other hand, many foreign players have made breakthroughs in the Chinese season. One of them won three Challenger titles in the Chinese season in just three years. And he has only won four Challenger championships in his entire career. So, who exactly is this player? What kind of Challenger title did he win in China? In the process of winning the championship, which players did you beat? Today, let the humble article take you to see it.

That player is the Frenchman Atmana! As a child, she often played tennis games, so her mother bought her a tennis racket and let him learn to play tennis on a real tennis court, which became the beginning of Atmana's tennis career. Despite not winning a decent title as a teenager, Atmana reached the final of the Hope Tournament eight times in the 2022 season. This year, his world ranking has risen by nearly 600 places, and he has gradually attracted the attention of many fans.

In August 2023, after reaching the quarterfinals of the Challenger at least eight times, Atmana came to the Guangzhou Challenger. In the first round, facing the challenge of China's Sun Fajing, in the unfavorable situation of dropping one set first, Atmana won two sets in a row, defeated his opponent through two tie-breaks, and advanced with difficulty. Perhaps because of the confidence gained from victory, Atmana won four straight matches to claim his first career Challenger title. With this title, he entered the 200 in the world ranking for the first time.

In September, in the first round of the Guangzhou Challenger, Atmana defeated Italy's Gistino in three sets to advance. In the second round, he defeated American A Ayeni in a two-set tie-break to reach the quarterfinals of at least the 10th Challenger tournament in the 2023 season. In the quarter-finals, facing the challenge of Australia's O'Connell, Atmana fell in straight sets to reach the semifinals. His opponent in the semi-finals was the Chinese Mongolian player Buyun Chaokert, who had already won the Challenger Tournament. In this match, Atmana didn't give Bou any chances, and after winning the game, he reached the second Challenger final of his career. In the final, Atmana did not give up after dropping the first set, and won two sets in a row to defeat Australia's Polmans, winning the Challenger Championship for the second time in China and the second Challenger title of his career.

In this week's first round of the Guangzhou Challenger against another Mongolian player, Terrigele, Atmana completed the comeback after dropping a set first; In the second round, he defeated Russia's Sharipov in straight sets to advance; In the quarter-finals, after eating a churro and falling behind in the second set, Atmana began to fight back, and he defeated Russia's Simakin in two sets in a row to reach the semi-finals of at least the second Challenger in the 2025 season.

The rest of the match was nothing short of uneventful, with neither American Holt nor Australia's Skulkett able to force Atmana into the deciding set. It is worth mentioning that Schulkett's first Challenger title was also won in China. After the victory over Schulkett, Atmana won his third Challenger title of the season in China. He will also compete in the Wuxi Challenge this week. So, what will Atmana's record be? Will they be able to win the championship again? Let's wait and see.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
