The Chilean has had a dream two weeks on European soil and has already secured his promotion to box 127 of the ATP rankings, which is why he is putting the pressure on Cristian Garin to be the second-best racket in the country.
Unstoppable. Alejandro Tabilo is unbeatable in his time in Europe. The number 145 of the ATP ranking is still on the rise on the Old Continent, because in the afternoon of this Thursday qualified for the quarter-finals of the San Benedetto Challenger in Italy.
realization you have by beating the Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis (204th) by 6-1 and 7-6 (5) in almost two hours of play. Match that started in a more than favorable way for the Chilean, since he twice broke the service of the man who was among the 50 best in the world and won the first set without encumbers.
But Berankis reacted in the second round and fought. In fact, he stayed with Tabilo’s serve and it looked like he would even be the contest. In addition, the national representative responded with character and “returned the favor” to the third and seventh Games .
It was time to serve to save the set and the game, but the European managed to stay alive and force the decisive game. However, the pupil of Guillermo Gómez brought out all his talent and with two Small break he dispatched his opponent and went seven games unbeaten (He just won the Karlsruhe Challenger in Germany).
NOW, Tabilo will face the Belgian Kimmer Coppejans (188th ATP) -at 11am this Friday- and according to the live ranking now got promoted to box 127. This leaves him on a good footing to fight for second place in the national table, since Christian Garin is in 124th place and everything will be updated this coming Monday during the weekend championships.
