During his time at the ATP in Santiago, the Chilean reached the singles final and won the doubles title.
Alejandro Tabilo’s dream week at the ATP in Santiago also brings him income. The national tennis player obtained, in addition to climbing 12 places in the ranking, a juicy monetary reward for reaching the final of the Chile Open.
And the Santiago ATP is positioned as the South American ATP 250 which brings in the most money on the circuit. A total of US$661,585 will be distributed, surpassed only by the ATP 500 in Rio de Janeiro, which is played a week before the tournament in the capital.
For losing in the final against the Argentinian Sebastián Báez, the left-hander received a prize of 58 thousand dollars, an amount close to 56 million pesos. But he not only received incentives for his performance in the singles team, but also thanks to the championship he won in doubles with Tomás Barrios. The title in this modality provides 34,960 dollars (34 million pesos) for the duo, so the person born in Toronto will receive half of this sum.
The sum of these checks reached 73 million pesos. A figure that undoubtedly helps to protect the expenses that the tennis player will have to face during the season, thinking about continued travel and payments to his coaching team.
Now, of course, the Chilean will have a great chance to continue increasing his winnings, since he will travel to the United States to play one of the most profitable tournaments: the Indian Wells Masters 1000. The Californian event s ‘is always distinguished by its scholarships, but this year it will even increase the profits of players who do not reach the final stages. It reduced the money available to champions and finalists by 10%, but applied a notable increase to those who qualify or lose in the first round.
Saying goodbye to the first round in California will bring in $30,000, which is $12,000 more than in 2023. Playing the top 64 round will mean a check for US$42,000, while settling in the third phase will result in by $59,000, the same amount Tabilo earned for reaching the ATP Finals in Santiago.
The Chilean’s Indian Wells debut will take place between Wednesday and Thursday, in what will be his first cement event since the Davis Cup series against Peru at the National Stadium. Alongside him, the 25th in the world, Nicolás Jarry, also appears in the main draw. Christian Garin was present during qualifying, but decided to abandon last weekend.
