Chilean tennis player Matías Soto has broken a winless streak, advancing to the round of 16 at the Augsburg Challenger in Germany. Soto, ranked 261st in the ATP rankings, secured a decisive victory over Ukraine's Oleksii Krutykh, who came through qualifying.

The third-seeded Chilean needed just one hour and 13 minutes to defeat Krutykh with a score of 6-3, 6-4. This win marks Soto's first main draw victory in a Challenger tournament in over a month, with his last win occurring on July 11 in the semifinals of Bogotá.

Soto's previous tournament saw him reach the final in Bogotá, where he was ultimately defeated by Colombia's Nicolás Mejía. His return to winning ways in Augsburg is a significant step for the player.

In the round of 16, Soto is scheduled to play against local German player Marvin Moeller, ranked 274th. Moeller advanced after defeating France's Thomas Faurel in his opening match.
