  • Paraguayan tennis player Adolfo Daniel Vallejo begins his campaign at the ATP Challenger 125 tournament in Germany on Tuesday.
  • Vallejo, ranked 72nd in the world, faces Bolivia's Juan Prado Angelo in the first round.
  • The tournament marks Vallejo's return to clay courts after competing in Wimbledon and other European tournaments.

Paraguay's top tennis player, Adolfo Daniel Vallejo, is set to make his debut at the ATP Challenger 125 Bravo Open in Braunschweig, Germany, on Tuesday. The 22-year-old, currently ranked 72nd in the world, will face Bolivia's Juan Prado Angelo, who is ranked 181st.

Vallejo aims to regain his form after his exit from the main draw at Wimbledon. This tournament on German clay courts is the first step in a series of European competitions for the Paraguayan, which will also include the ATP 250 events in Bastad, Sweden, and Kitzbuhel, Austria.

Vallejo enters the Braunschweig tournament as the second favorite. Should he advance past Prado Angelo, his next opponent will be the winner of the match between local German players Marvin Moeller and Benito Sรกnchez Martรญnez. Moeller is ranked 372nd and received a special exemption, while Sรกnchez Martรญnez is ranked 430th and entered as a wildcard.

Before his Wimbledon appearance, where he lost to Colombia's Nicolรกs Mejรญa in four sets, Vallejo competed in the ATP 250 tournament in Mallorca. He was eliminated in the first round by Germany's Yannick Hanfmann. Vallejo is looking to recapture the form that propelled him into the world's top 80 earlier in the year.
