Correa made it to round 4 of the QS 10.000 and secured the best result of her WSL career

The Peruvian's backside attack is unstoppable, he has left members and former members of the CT out of the tournament and is very close to entering the top 50.


Peruvian Alonso Correa is unstoppable in the QS 10.000 in Ericeira, Portugal, which has been taking place for three days on the long and perfect right-handers of Ribeira D'Ilhas. He has just secured himself a place in round 4 of the event, which will give him at least 2.200 ranking points and 3700 dollars, the best result of his career in three years competing in the WSL Qualifying Series.

Correa almost doubles the 1125 he won at the Iquique QS 1500 and is more than double his victory at the San Bartolo QS 1000, which will almost certainly put him in the top 50 of the world rankings once the rankings are updated.

In his round 1 series, the Villa local defeated Australian Jordy Lawler and Spaniards Andy Criere and Ruben Vitoria, in round 2 he won again, beating CT member Tomas Hermes, Brazilian Weslley Dantas and Hawaiian Imaikalani Devault.

In today's match, which was played on perfect forehands, Correa attacked again and again in the critical part to score 12,33 (7,33+5,00) and place second behind the Australian Soli Bailey but beating the Californian Ian Crane and the Portuguese Tomás Fernandes.

In tomorrow's series, the Peruvian will face another member of the CT, Kanoa Igarashi, and whoever is placed second in the series that will be contested by Ezekiel Lau, Matt Wilkinson, Keanu Asing and Barron Mamiya.

The waves are expected to continue breaking solidly and perfectly in Ribeira D'Ilhas.

In other results, Uruguayan Marco Giorgi was very close to also advancing to round 4, but fell behind by just 0,74 behind the Brazilian and the Frenchman Joan Duru.

Earlier in the day, Peruvian Tomás Tudela fell in a series in which he could not find his rhythm.
