The national tennis player showed discomfort in his left elbow, the very one where he suffered a stress fracture, which forced him to leave when he fell in the second set against Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi.
After a spectacular start to the season, where he reached the ATP final in Cordoba and the semi-finals in Santiago, Alejandro Tabilo is going through a difficult time, where physical problems have not left him alone. After missing most of the European clay tour with a stress fracture in his left elbow on the grass he tried to come back, but again the inconvenience prevented him from playing as he wanted.
In the ATP 250, the left-hander slowly resumed his game and even managed to overtake the classification. However, in his first-round main draw match against Frenchman Benjamín Bonzi, complications returned and the Chilean had no choice but to retire, when it fell 6-3 and 4-2, after an hour of play.
Despite this inconvenience, his work team is convinced that he will be able to play Wimbledon and that his retirement in Spain is more a precaution than an aggravation of the injury.
This year the competition does not award points for the ranking, due to the measure of the ATP before the British Grand Slam ban on admitting Russian and Belarusian tennis players. This, yes, the event will offer a millionaire prize pool to compensate tennis players who will not be able to revalidate their units.
