Cali Challenger Qualifying Entry List Storylines
Nicolás Mejía Carries Colombia’s Hopes
Nicolás Mejía enters the Cali Challenger as the main draw’s highest-ranked player at No. 116. He recently won the Bogotá Challenger, so expectations are running high for the 26-year-old.
Federico Coria Looks to Make His Mark
Federico Coria enters the main draw using a protected ranking, adding another experienced player who has dropped six of his last seven matches and could really use a strong week as he looks to return to the Top 50.
Thiago Seyboth Wild Seeks Return to Top 60
Thiago Seyboth Wild is a former Top 60 player riding an eight-match Challenger Tour winning streak, including a title in Genoa. A couple more strong results should earn him direct entry into the 2027 Australian Open.
