The news was even better for Chile ahead of the Games, with Mendez following his singles victory with a win alongside Francisco Cayulef in the doubles.
Aside from working on his tennis game, Mendez has also taken up surfing in Iquique.
“Today I played my best match of the tournament. I felt the ball better, and I improved my mobility. It’s a great start to the final stage of preparation for the Parasuramericanos in Santiago,” the Chilean said after winning his 19th international title.
