The emergence of Mariano Navone in the tennis elite was as unexpected as it was meritorious and fast, but the most impressive thing is how the Argentine is consolidating his position at the top. Aware of the importance of winning many matches in this South American clay court tour, he appeared at a press conference as a quarterfinalist of the ATP 250 Buenos Aires 2025 after defeating Rune and before facing Joao Fonseca.

Smiling, passionate about tennis, committed to daily work, and brave on court like no other. That's Mariano Navone, a 23-year-old breaking all the barriers since last year and aiming to return to his best form in this South American clay court tour. He is already in the quarterfinals of the ATP 250 Buenos Aires 2025, and his reflections at the press conference after defeating Holger Rune are illustrative for seasoned specialists on this surface.

- Navone explains why playing a lot on hard court has helped him feel better on clay

"I have never thought too much about the ranking points I have to defend or whether I need to win more or fewer matches depending on the season phase. I believe the only key to being at the top is to improve performance on the court every day and be able to secure victories. The experience of having spent six months playing only on hard court has been new to me, and I feel it has made my tennis much more competitive. I learned to be more aggressive, to modify some movements and game patterns, and honestly, now that I return to clay, I feel I have more time to set up plays and be the one dictating the point," he reflects.

When asked about his upcoming opponent, Joao Fonseca, the Argentine recalls the great match they had at the Rio de Janeiro tournament last year when Mariano Navone managed to win in an exciting showdown. "The battle we had was thrilling, and I hope it's the same here. It will be a great challenge to face him; he has been improving a lot. The truth is, he is progressing at a rate that is not normal; only the best can evolve that way. He has a bright future ahead," stated a player who will seek to keep his dream of reigning in the ATP 250 Buenos Aires 2025 alive.
