Tennis “We already talked about it with Nico”: Alejandro Tabilo confirms the Chilean duo that will play in Paris 2024

With 23 days to go until the start of the Paris Olympic Games, Chilean tennis already knows who will make up the duo that will compete in the doubles on the Roland Garros courts. They are Alejandro Tabilo and Nicolás Jarry, the two best rackets in the country.

This determination also means that Tomás Barrios will only play singles in the French capital, which may be surprising considering that the Chilanejo has always led the Davis Cup doubles with Alejandro Tabilo.

But the decision has already been made. In fact, Jano himself confirmed it after qualifying for the second round of Wimbledon. “We have already spoken about it with Nico. “I am very anxious, I really want to be there,” the world number 19 confessed to the media. Clay.

He also announced that in order to best reach the Olympic events, the two tennis players would participate in the ATP 250 doubles draw in Kitzbühel, which will take place just a week before Paris 2024. For both of them, this will be their next step after Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam of the season.

For both tennis players, this will be their first participation in the Olympic Games, since neither of them managed to qualify for Tokyo 2020. At that time, Nicolás Jarry had just returned from his 11-month suspension for doping and Alejandro Tabilo was not among the top 150 players on the circuit. “TI’m really looking forward to getting to Paris, being a part of the Olympics and everything that comes with being part of such a big event. “It has always been a dream of mine and also to represent Chile, as beautiful as it always is, in the Davis Cup, in the Pan American Games, on the circuit. So I am looking forward to this moment,” Jaime Fillol’s grandson confessed a week ago about this opportunity.

And although Chile already has three confirmed players in singles, the Chilean Tennis Federation has already noted the name of Christian Garin as a reserve, since in recent weeks many participants have abandoned the rings event and the list could go up to the ranking. This is the great desire of the North American, who gave up three years ago by his own decision to withdraw from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games due to the state of pandemic that the world was going through and the demanding nature of the ATP calendar.
