Miguel Tudela finished fifth in Australia and is now in the top 5 of the QS

The Peruvian tied the best result of his career, in 2019 he participated in three events and in all three he got a good result


Peruvian Miguel Tudela was unable to beat local Jack Robinson in his quarter-final series and left the Newcastle Surfest in fifth place, which concluded today in fun waves of half to one metre at the Australian beach break.

Robinson beat Tudela by 13,8 (6,33 + 7,47) to 13 (6 + 7), it was a close series that could have easily gone either way.

After his series, the Peruvian wrote on his social networks that he “left everything on the court” and thanked everyone for their support, especially Alonso Correa and his brother Tomás and his girlfriend who were with him on the beach.

With this result, the Peruvian added 2650 points, tying his best historical performance on the world tour (when he placed fifth in 2017 in Pantín, Galicia).

The event was won by former CT Alex Ribeiro, who left Jadson André in second (and first in the QS ranking).

Meanwhile, among the ladies, the champion was Sally Fitzgibbons, who beat her compatriot Isabella Nichols in the final.

The tour continues tomorrow, Monday, when the Sydney 6000 will begin, with the big news being that Kelly Slater will be present.
