The 20-year-old from San Diego emerged victorious in the Tiburon Challenger at the Tiburon Peninsula Club, winning the final Oct. 8 by defeating Australian Adam Walton in two sets, 6-2, 6-2.


Losing just one set on his way to the crown, Svajda also became the tournament’s first back-to-back winner, as well as the first to win the Tiburon Challenger multiple times.


“I knew I could do this, but I just try not to think too much ahead,” he said post-match. “So I just try to take it point by point, day by day.”
