The Chilean beat the Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (33rd) in three sets. Christian Garin, for his part, lost in the Challenger 125 at Ilkley.
Alejandro Tabilo (24th ATP) starts his adventure for the Queen’s ATP 500 on the right foot. It doesn’t matter that his rival, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (33rd), requested the suspension of the match on Monday when the Chilean led 2-0 and served in the third set.
Yesterday’s final was controversial, mainly because Tabilo was not in favor of stopping the match because the pitch was slippery. With the result in his favor and a newly transformed break, Jano knew it was time for him to secure victory. But the Spaniard’s assertions were heard by the tournament organization. Tabilo complained and spoke with the supervisor, but got nothing.
The third set began this Tuesday with the launch of the national team. He showed that he was the best on the London grass and ensured his presence in the second round with a hard-fought 7-6(6), 3-6 and 6-1. Now, the American Tommy Paul (13th) or the Argentinian Sebastián Báez (19th) appear on his horizon.
With the 50 points he obtained for his passage to the first round, Tabilo reached at least 23rd place in the world rankings, which could improve considerably in the coming weeks, since last year he did not either more points scored at Wimbledon, where he now appears. as seeded.
Garin says goodbye to Ilkley
Tabilo smiled in London, but Christian Garin (113°) suffered in Ilkley, an English town located 400 kilometers from the capital. The Northerner dreamed of a consecration which would allow him to automatically receive an invitation to Wimbledon, since this is precisely one of the main characteristics of the Ilkley Challenger 125.
Unfortunately for the national team, this illusion ended in the first round. This Tuesday and after Monday’s suspension (lack of light), the northerner lost 6-7, 6-4 and 2-6 against Terrence Atmane, 126th in the world.
In this way, Garin will have to return to London to try to reach Wimbledon via qualifying. Something that, if achieved, can undoubtedly change the present of the former 17th in the world, since at the All England Tennis Club he achieved his best results in Grand Slams. In 2021 he reached the round of 16 and in 2022 he reached the round of 16.
