The Chilean beat Marcos Giron 6-3, 7-5 in the first game of the Spanish tournament qualifiers. From now on, he will have to face David Goffin, former world number seven.
Alejandro Tabilo continues to fly in Europe. The Chilean maintained the formidable level he showed in Munich and managed to overcome the first round of the Madrid Masters 1000 qualifiers, in his qualifying debut for these tournaments on clay. He beat Marcos Giron 6-3 and 7-5 (53rd ).
The Chilean had a tough game against a higher ranked rival but couldn’t bother him per game. In reality at first it looked like it was going to be an easy game for the national. Much deeper than his rival, the left-hander hurt with his crosses, sinking the morale of a player who had lost his last six duels.
Thus, he enjoyed in a very comfortable way. He dominated this entire set with his leg strength and intelligence, making it clear that the level that landed him in the quarter-finals of ATP Munich was still in his veins.
Jano seemed to have grown up a lot in Germany, manage to adapt to the level necessary to overcome cases like these because despite some qualifications, the level of the Spanish Masters 1000 is the highest he can face.
He won the first set 6-3. No call and no problem. Playing like he did in South America and the United States, showing he’s having a stellar time.
But a week’s fatigue moved to no power, began to affect. He had problems in the second set and wasn’t as active as before. In many moments, he left the intensity, to cover the ground from start to finish, defending the points. He had tough times like that, but he never delivered the set . Despite being down on the scoreboard, he contained his rival with work.
And when he had to take the plunge, he didn’t hesitate. He tied the second set at five and dislodged Giron. A comeback that materialized when he broke the American in the next game and was one service game away from winning.
An opportunity that he did not miss and that he tied up with force. A 7-5 that leaves him one step away from qualifying for Madrid main draw . More than a prize, a merit for the level that is displayed. Of course, what is coming now will not be easy, since David Goffin (55th), former world number seven, appears on his way .
