One Davis Cup best-16 win: Tabilo and Barrios put Chile ahead against Kazakhstan

In a very balanced match, the national team won 6-4, 7-5 against Andrey Golubev and Aleksandr Nedovyesov. From now on, Christian Garin will have the chance to close the series.

Chile are one win away from the Davis Cup World Group. One step away from replicating what was experienced in 2019 and putting the country back in the top 16 on the planet. Responsible for this opportunity were Alejandro Tabilo and Tomás Barrios, who beat Andrey Golubev and Aleksandr Nedovyesov in the double of the series against Kazakhstan.

A victory that puts Chile in front for the first time this weekend. The key started with a loss for Garin, but Jarry left it all tied for today’s domestic pair to dominate at La Serena. It was a complex match, against an experienced couple, who even had a Roland Garros finalist (Golubev) in the modality.

But the Chileans showed their great chemistry and didn’t let go. There are already five Davis Cup series playing the double , so they are perfectly maneuvered in modality and know how to get complicated. In fact, against the Kazakhs his big keys were powerful shots from the baseline and the ability to defend attacks that came from the net.

it was like that the break was obtained at 4-4 in the first set , a play that would end up being vital to winning this round. The Chileans then managed to secure their serve and achieve a success that the public and the players themselves celebrated with euphoria.

Of course, in the second set, the feeling of equality was always present and it was very difficult to find sections where one couple was superior to the other. In the first set, Chile won only three points more than Kazakhstan and in the second set there was no break until they reached 5-5. There, Tabilo and Barrios once again brought the balance to their side.

A definitive break, which once again gave them the opportunity to close the round, when there was no more margin. And the Nationals did not disappoint. They kept the strategy and secured the third key point. Thus, Chile is only one victory away.

now it will be Christian Garin (102°) in charge of being able to close the series. You have to measure yourself against Alexander Bublik (36°) on the fourth disputed point. It will be a great chance to go down in history with the national flag and incidentally to be able to leave behind him the bad feelings he showed yesterday during his defeat against Timofey Skatov (129th). If he doesn’t, the last chance will be Jarry’s.
