The draw for the third Grand Slam of the year has determined a fairly complex course for the national representatives. While Gago will meet Matteo Berrettini in his debut, Alejandro Tabilo will face Laslo Djere, and could even meet Djokovic in the third round.
The Wimbledon draw brings more worry than happiness to the Chileans. No Grand Slam is easy, of course, but the path that the nationals will have to travel in London is very complicated. Christian Garin (44th) will start the course against Matteo Berrettini, world number eleven and finalist of the event in 2021. Tabilo (80th) will instead have to face Laslo Djere (55th) in the first round. within a section in which Novak Djokovic (3rd) appears as his hypothetical rival in the third round.
In the case of Garin, his rival is one of the most difficult things he can face, and it is that the players who are above the Italian on the grass can be counted on the fingers of a hand. His powerful and fast game wreaks havoc on the surface, proof of what He has just obtained two consecutive titles on grass: Stuttgart and Queens.
A heroic proof of the tano, which he had been out of work for months due to an injury and when he first appeared, he already raised his glass. With that motivation, winning the UK ATP 500 was downright easy. That’s why he pulls out a candidate’s badge at Wimbledon, a tournament he knows and almost conquered in 2021, when he lost the final to Nole in four sets.
Garin, on the other hand, arrives at the cathedral with little feeling on the pitch . In Halle and Eastbourne he was sent off in the first round, unable to show his best game. This game against Mateo will be a big test for the Chilean, who appears on paper with few options. In any case, one thing is what logic says and another is what can actually happen.
Tabilo with Djokovic on the horizon
The Chilean-Canadian didn’t find a friendly way at Wimbledon either. He will make his debut in the first round against Serbian Laslo Djere, a player with long experience on the circuit and that he is used to grown-ups.
But this duel will be level, as long as the elbow injury allows the Toronto native to compete. You will arrive between the cottons at the Cathedral and we don’t know how your body reacts . The positive is that Tabilo has already played five matches on grass so its adaptation is already more than done.
In the event that the southpaw wins in his debut, the potential opponent in the second round is even tougher, because He will have to face the Australian John Millman (86th), native of the surface, or Miomir Keckmanovic (30th) one of the players who has exploited the most during this year 2022.
In the third round, the rival would be none other than Novak Djokovic, six-time winner of Wimbledon, defending champion and big favorite of this edition.
