Titouan Droguet turned an opening-round match-point escape into the Saint-Tropez Challenger 125 title. In the September 27, 2026 final, he beat fellow Frenchman Harold Mayot 6-3, 7-5.
Droguet converted five of ten break points; Mayot converted three of six. The champion also won 35 of the 46 points on which he landed his first serve.
The top seed had faced elimination against Poling in the first round. The French Tennis Federation’s September 28 report recorded one match point saved before his run to the trophy.
Cassis had already brought him his first top-100 ranking: No. 89 on September 14. He stood at No. 72 on September 28, the day after the Saint-Tropez final, a further rise of 17 places between the two dated lists.
