Emilio Nava is looking to finish his season in style. Competing this week at the Uruguay Open at a career-high No. 88 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Nava on Tuesday began his quest for a season-leading fifth ATP Challenger Tour title.
The third-seeded American kickstarted his campaign in Montevideo in emphatic fashion, ousting Daniel Dutra da Silva 6-2, 6-4 in the opening round. Nava dropped just five points behind his first serve and saved all three break points he faced, according to Infosys ATP Stats.

Nava has earned all four of his Challenger trophies this year on clay, a single-season record amongst Americans. Earlier this season, he went on a 19-match winning streak on the surface, a run during which he won three titles (Asuncion, Concepcion and Sarasota) and finished runner-up in Tallahassee.
Nava's countryman Tristan Boyer, the defending champion in Montevideo, was also in action Tuesday, but the 24-year-old was upset. Argentine Alex Barrena rallied past Boyer 6-7(1), 7-5, 6-1.
Ecuador's Alvaro Guillen Meza shocked top seed Sebastian Baez 7-6(3), 6-4 to reach the second round. Former World No. 17 Cristian Garin advanced with a 6-3, 7-5 victory against Andrea Collarini.
Alvaro Guillen Meza is EVERYWHERE 😎
