If the northerner does not manage to bounce back in the brick dust tour, he could lose the place of being the best national racket and it is that the former 17th in the world must defend more than 500 points in the months to come. Janus for his part, only 57 until after Wimbledon.
It’s inevitable to assume that in 2022 the top two Chilean tennis players in the rankings had very different seasons. While Alejandro Tabilo (84th) had the best months of his career with a final and a semi-final of ATP tournaments included, Christian Garin (39th) has had many problems on and off the pitch losing ground and many points in the standings.
This means that a possible change in the order of the national racquets is not so far-fetched, especially in the face of a few months in which Garin defends more than 500 points and “Jano” practically nothing. Concretely, until after Roland Garros, nortino plays 405 units, while Jano only defends 16 for reaching the last round of the Roland Garros qualifiers. A difference that lasts until after Wimbledon.
Garin could break out of the top 100
This change in the order of the Chileans would take place mainly if Garin could not participate in the European brick dust tour, as Gago’s constant early crashes put him in a very complicated situation for the coming months.
This Monday, the champion of five ATP tournaments, appeared at the 39th position in the world with 1168 units . A fall (it was 30° seven days ago) which is explained by the impossibility of defending the 170 points from his victory in Munich in 2019, plus the 45 obtained in Estoril last year . This leads to the Chilean being in his worst ranking since 2019 and very much in a rush for units.
But the problems do not stop and it is that in these next two weeks, He must defend 225 points following his performances in Madrid (180) and Rome (45) in 2021. For example, if Garin loses in the first round of the Caja Mágica (to American Frances Tiafoe), he could drop to 49th in the world.
Then come Roland Garros and the grass tour, tournaments where points continue to complicate it. Last year between Roland-Garros, the ATP 250 at ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Wimbledon, the Arica native scored 383 goal units. If there’s a doomsday scenario where he can’t get past the first round of any of these tournaments, the Chilean might even be out of the Top 100.
Tabilo defends 57 points until after Wimbledon
Alejandro, on the other hand, is going through a totally opposite moment to that of the former world number 17. “Jano” is living his first big season immersed in ATP tournaments, so during these months he will practically only add units. In fact until after Wimbledon he only defends 57 points.
This situation gives him a chance to become number one in Chile in the short term. This week, Tabilo appeared in 84th place in the world (his best ranking), remaining only 405 units behind Garin .
The big difference is that the Toronto native could practically only add to the brick dust tour. This means that even with poor results, he could get closer to Garin. As long as the current number one can’t defend the units he got last season.
The distribution of counting tournaments of the left-hander is as follows: He defends eight points from the Almaty Challenger (2019) and 15 points from the Shymkent Challenger (2019). After that must defend 16 units to reach the third round of the Roland Garros 2021 qualifiers and 10 points for making the main draw for Queens. In August, he defended eight points for the Wimbledon playoffs.
Remember that the Masters 1000 gives 10 units to play the first round, 25 for the second and 45 for the third. The ATP 250 instead gives 10 for its debut, 20 for the round of 16 and 45 for the quarterfinals. The Grand Slams, meanwhile, deliver 10, 20 and 45 respectively (16th).
