Frenchman Clement Chidekh has enjoyed a perfect start to the 2026 season, claiming back-to-back ATP Challenger titles. The 24-year-old’s latest triumph came at the Lexus Glasgow Challenger, where he extended his winning streak to 10.
The champion at the previous week’s Nottingham Challenger, Chidekh led Mikhail Kukushkin 5-7, 6-1, 4-0 in the final when the Kazakhstani retired due to a right shoulder injury.

Chidekh, a former University of Washington standout who turned pro in 2022 after his junior season, is a four-time Challenger champion. His first triumph came in Glasgow, the same event he won Saturday. Chidekh is up 26 places to No. 189 in the PIF ATP Rankings, five spots off tying his career high.
In other Challenger action, Pol Martin Tiffon won his maiden title at that level with his victory at the Bangkok Open 2, where he downed Maximus Jones 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 in the final. Following his title run, the 26-year-old Spaniard surged 109 spots to No. 264 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
Italian Franco Agamenone won the clay-court Challenger AAT de TCA 1 in Buenos Aires. Agamenone, 32, improved to 6-0 in Challenger finals with his 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory over Argentine Andrea Collarini in the championship match.
