ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS Corona Open Mexico presented by Quiksilver

After a week of flawless surf at Barra De La Cruz, Australians Stephanie Gilmore and Jack Robinson have swept the Corona Open Mexico presented by Quiksilver.

For seven-time World Champion Gilmore, it's her first victory of the 2021 season and the 32nd of her career. The win also solidifies her spot in the WSL Final 5 and gives her a clear path to winning a record-setting eighth World Title.

"Best feeling ever! I haven't won a contest in a long time," Gilmore smiled back on the beach.

For rookie Robinson, this marks the first CT victory of his much-heralded young career and the first win for a rookie since 2018. It's the only Tour win for an Australian male this season, and for the effort, Robinson moves up to 12th on the WSL Leaderboard and will now safely requalify for the 2022 season.

Letting out a howl of relief in his post heat interview, all week long Robinson had done a remarkable job of staying within himself and taking it one wave at a time. He finally let himself smile and soak in the moment when it was all done.

"I don't even know where to start...it's the feeling I got when I qualified," Robinson said. "I was trying to carry this energy all week and stay to myself. I felt like I was in the zone."
