Alejandro could not overcome the German tennis player, with whom he also lost in Belgrade last week, ending his week in Bavaria. Tournament more than positive for the left-hander, since Monday he will appear in 84th place in the world.
The Munich ATP ended in the quarter-finals for Alejandro Tabilo (91st). The Chilean could not overcome the German tennis player, Oscar Otte (62nd), and lost by partials 1-6 and 6-7 (1) . In any case, the German tournament was more than positive for “Jano”. This Monday he will reach the highest ranking of his career: will be 84 of the world.
The match was not easy for the national tennis player, since less than two weeks ago he had lost without appeal against this same rival in Belgrade (0-6 and 3-6). On that occasion, Tabilo hadn’t even been able to compete, so now he was looking for a personal revenge in Munich.
Despite this goal, unfortunately, the game started in the worst possible way. Although the Toronto native had more desire and intensity than he showed in Serbia, again he couldn’t hurt his rival. Otte, for his part, punished him with his serve and all the balls he had left in the middle of the field. .
Tabilo, on the other hand, tried to counteract this continuous power with his classic dropp, but that didn’t work either. Thus, the European’s advantage was stretched until he could close the set without any problems. The first game, 6-1 for the locals, spawning many ghosts.
But in the second set he managed to fight. He played more aggressive and managed to defend smarter , quickly giving a much more level game. The latter was Alejandro’s great weapon in the game: his defense. And it is that against a rival like the German, who hits at almost every point, thanks to his size and physicality, in most cases you will have to be from the bottom to endure the paddling.
Something the left-hander knew how to do. Yes indeed he stretched the partial until the tie-break , where unfortunately he hesitated. It was as if everything worked on set, was gone. He was disconnected from the game for a few seconds and it got away from him forever . He lost this definition 1-7 and had the chance to go to the semi-finals.
In any case, the Chilean number two draws positive accounts from Munich. Once again, he is installed in the quarter-finals of an ATP tournament (after Córdoba and Santiago) and incidentally manages to climb to his best historical position in the ranking. . This Monday will appear at the 84th position in the world.
Now, Tabilo will travel to Madrid to play in the Spanish Masters 1000 qualifier. A case where he will play the first round against Marcos Giron.
