National tennis players were drawn during qualifying for the third grand slam of the season. Both have just participated in the Ilkey Challenger, where they played doubles together. If they win their matches, they will find themselves in the second round.
Christian Garin and Tomás Barrios prepare to compete in the Wimbledon qualifiers. The two national tennis players are going through a complex moment in the rankings, as they have lost several positions. On the one hand, Gago is ranked 113th. While Chilanejo occupies box 172. However, when he enters the field, he will do so at 196th in the world after this Monday’s ranking update.
In this scenario, both players would not be able to participate in the main draw, so they will attempt to enter after qualifying. Thus, Garin will face the French Enzo Couacaud (196th), in a duel scheduled around 8:30 a.m. this Monday. Meanwhile, Barrios appears at the same time against the Briton Anton Matusevich (431st).
If both win, their entries will collide in the second round of qualifying, so only one Chilean will be able to advance to the main draw of the competition.
Both players have just participated in the Ilkey Challenger, where the pupil of Gonzalo Lama bid farewell to his debut, while the native of the Ñuble region produced a remarkable performance against Hugo Gastón, first seed and 69th in the world , and then fell close in the round of 16.
This year’s qualifying competition will take place from Monday 24 June to Thursday 27 at the Community Sport Center in Roehampton, with the final round being the best of five sets, something Garin and Barrios already know, as they were able to overcome the quality of this tournament on several occasions.
