Former junior world No. 1 Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez and 2023 Wimbledon boys’ singles champion Henry Searle both recorded new career milestones on the ITF World Tennis Tour over the weekend.

Mexico’s Pacheco Mendez won the biggest singles title of his career so far, defeating Bernard Tomic 6-7(1) 7-5 6-4 on home soil in the final at M25 Xalapa.

The 19-year-old, who became junior world No. 1 in May 2023, won his first professional singles title at M15 Belem in Brazil in August last year, and later finished runner-up in the ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals in October.

Meanwhile, Great Britain’s Searle reached his first professional singles final, also on home soil, at M25 Nottingham.

After defeating two Top 450 players and without dropping a set across four matches, Searle fell to compatriot Charles Broom 6-3 6-3 in the final.

Searle, 18, famously became the first British player to win the Wimbledon boys’ singles since 1962 when he won the title at SW19 in July, defeating Yaroslav Demin 6-4 6-4 in the final.

Currently sitting at No. 722 in the world, four places off his career-high of No. 718, Searle is set to climb well inside the world’s Top 700 when the next ATP rankings update comes around on 19th May (after Rome).

Along with Broom, fellow Brits Jay Clarke and Stuart Parker won titles at M25 Santa Margherita di Pula and M15 Monastir respectively.

Elsewhere, Colombia’s Nicolas Mejia added to his push back up the rankings, also with success on home soil, defeating Kiranpal Pannu 6-2 6-2 in the final at M25 Anapoima.  

Mejia, 24, began 2024 having not won a singles title at any level since July 2019, but has since won his first ATP Challenger title at San Luis Potosi in Mexico in March, before this most recent title in Anapoima.

Ireland’s Michael Agwi won his second title in as many weeks, winning M15 Antalya in Turkiye, his third career singles title, to back up his title at M15 Meerbusch in Germany at the end of April.

After recovering from a set down against Mert Naci Turker in the first round, the 20-year-old did not drop a set in claiming the title, leading Stijn Slump 6-3 3-0 in the final before the Dutchman retired from the match.

Currently ranked at a career-high world No. 597, Agwi is the only Irish man in the world’s top 1000.
