Best of Chile meets in Munich: Tabilo to face Garin in German ATP first round

The loss of Filip Krajinovic, the first rival of the top-ranked national tennis player, brought “Jano” into the main draw of the German tournament. The match will be played in the early hours of Tuesday.

One was playing in the tournament playoffs and the other was already training for his match against Filip Krajinovic (49th). Their fates seemed far apart until a turn of events brought the two best Chileans on the circuit to face off in the first round of the Munich ATP. While Alejandro Tabilo (91st) lost in the last round of the playoffs, the rival of Christian Garin (30th) ended up forfeiting the event before playing the match, so the organization finally gave this position to the Chilean-Canadian.

Yes indeed the two best racquets in the country will meet on a tennis court . Something they have done twice so far, with a victory for each, but always on national soil. Munich will be the first international stage of this story. One to hold at 5:00 a.m. (Chilean time) this Tuesday .

A story that lives its highest moment, with the fresh memory of Tabilo’s victory in the round of 16 of the Chile Open. This match caused a break for Garin, who after falling by double 6-3 decided to take a break from the circuit . He renewed his technical staff, changed his racket and spoke about the complicated mental and physical moment he was going through.

Sensations which seem to have been exceeded and which now excite him to make it clear that he is still number one in the country. With his new coach, Pepe Vendrell, the northerner showed signs of improvement, even reaching the ATP semi-finals in Houston.

Tabilo for his part lives his first tour on clay at the highest level . With a schedule very similar to Gago’s (both have played in Houston and Belgrade), the southpaw dreams of his first win in the 250 class at a European clay court tournament.

The clash will take place on a stage that Christian knows well, since it is there that he celebrated one of his five ATP titles. He was in 2019 when he beat Mateo Berretini in the final , in which so far has been the best stage of his career. But today’s reality is different, so Garin is looking for moments like this to regain his confidence.

The duel undoubtedly grabs the attention of all domestic fans, who rarely get the chance to see Chilean players face off in stellar instances. The duel will take place this Tuesday at 5:00 a.m. in Chile, in the central court of the Munich site .
