Interesting that Sergei got a WC. Hope he makes the most of it.

[TankingTheSet]

I think it's rather confusing that the thread is not named "Cordoba", for all intents and purposes this tournament is called "Cordoba" challenger. Maybe Cordoba can be mentioned in the thread title.

That's because the ATP referred to it as Pozoblanco only on the ATP calendar for a long time.

Cordoba has been added to the title.
