Another match in which the Chilean demonstrates his great form, greatly surpassing his rival. In the semi-final, he will face the Colombian Daniel Galán (128th).
The left-hander entered the quarter-finals with an extraordinary level, the one that anchored him in the top 100 and who is living by far his best season as a professional. He is already an ATP player and in these Challenger cases that level is clear.
Jeffrey John Wolf was the victim of an overwhelming Tabilo. On American clay, he looks very comfortable, as Sarasota’s dust is one of the fastest. Yes indeed mixes the learning he had in Chile and the innate knowledge he has about cement . The fast courts bring out the best in the country’s number two.
From the start, he went bankrupt and made it clear that he would own the party. What followed was the display of the best Tabilo, at least in the first set. Powerful with his forehand, confident with his backhand and active with his feet, he gave the Toronto native an easy win point by point.

Special mention that once the meeting is over, Marcelo Ríos entered the pitch to congratulate him . The tournament takes place in Florida, very close to Chino, so the former number one did not hesitate to go see Alejandro.
He only has two games left to celebrate in the United States. A win in Sarasota would be a big milestone considering what’s to come: the brick dust european tour .
