Lebanon is a wonderful country that, unfortunately, has been suffering from violence and attacks by Israel in recent months. Any reason to smile is appreciated in almost wartime, and Hady Habib, their best player, has provided them with one of great proportions. A native of Houston, with an Iranian mother and Lebanese father, he became the first player under the flag of this nation to conquer a title within the ATP umbrella, achieving this feat at the Temuco Challenger in Chile. He defeated the Argentine Camilo Ugo Carabelli in a thrilling final (6-4, 6-7(3), 7-6(2)) and ended up in tears on his bench, aware of the incredible achievement accomplished. Hady, who represented Lebanon in the Olympic Games and lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the first round, also secured with this title the mathematical entry into his first Grand Slam, earning a spot in the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open. The most special day of his career, without a doubt.
