Christian Garin passes qualifying and will be in the Indian Wells main draw

Christian Garin (97th) will continue for at least a few more days in California. The Chilean emerged victorious in his second match of the qualifiers and managed to secure his presence in the main draw of the first Masters 1000 of the season. Today he beat Filip Misolic (146th) 6-4, 6-2.

A feat that calms the waters after a tough elimination in the quarter-finals of the Chile Open. In Santiago, Garin lived a week of extremes. He first celebrated the big victory against Dominic Thiem (102nd) and then suffered a defeat against Sebastián Báez (35th) in which he never had the chance to dominate the stocks.

California was therefore a great chance to remedy the situation. Playing the main draw in Indian Wells could be an obvious opportunity to add units, since the “Tank” can show its best feelings on a hard court. Actually, in these two matches of the previous phase he managed to find very good feelings playing good tennis from the baseline and looking very solid with his serves.

Against the Austrian, these were his great weapons, managing to dominate the game and the points at all times. In the first set he had to attack harder to close the set and already in the second, with the result and the sensations on his side, he was much better. The marker, 6-4 and 6-2, clearly shows the pace attained by the national tennis player on Tuesday in California.

Now is the time to wait to meet Garin’s rival in the first round, since Once all the qualifying matches are completed, the draw will be made to know the crosses which players will arrive from this path of participation. In the worst case, the nortino could face players like Jack Draper (56th), Richard Gasquet (43rd) or even Stan Wawrinka (100th).

Of course, the draw features a key first round that will be played between two qualy players, so Garin could face another player who has already won on the auxiliary lanes of the so-called “big fifth”.
