Home hope and 2014 runner-up Clezar returns. The wild card notched wins over a pair of Top 100 players, including three match points saved in beating Victor Estrella Burgos 14-12 in a deciding tie-break to reach the final. “All the players in the field are really strong, it’s a high level. The matches would be tough in any of the groups. I really enjoy playing here, I had a good run last year and I hope to be able to repeat it now. The important thing for me now is to finish the season on a high note. I will think about rankings next year, because the main goal is to play at a high level.”
