The Chilean lost without appeal against Felix Auger Aliassime (10th) by partials 3-6 and 0-6. A result which makes him lose 135 units, which continues to complicate him in the classification.
Christian Garin (39th) suffered a heavy fall at the Masters 1000 in Madrid and says goodbye to the Spanish capital with 135 points less than when he arrived since he could not defend the quarter-finals he had obtained last year. He fell in the second round 3-6 and 0-6 against Félix Auger Aliassime (10th).
The match was extremely complicated for the Chilean. A clear sign of this, the fact that he was still at the bottom of the scoreboard. It wasn’t until the start of each set that he was able to hold on to hope, but as the minutes started to tick by, the differences between the two tennis players became clear. On the right, Gago without reaching the level to fight these matches.
With power and explosiveness, the Canadian began to gain ground. His deep serves wreaked havoc from over 600 meters high and his forehand was an insoluble problem for Gago, who despite his struggles did not find the result.
This is perhaps the place where the northerner can find tranquility. The fight. Despite the dash slack, Garin always tried to turn things around, rather than leveling up which wasn’t an option.
The proof is the “mini comeback” he had by being 1-5 in the first set. In other times, Christian would have delivered the partial with this result , but not right now. He managed to find calm in a difficult moment and made the handful of Chilean fans who arrived at the Caja Mágica dream of a possible exploit. Finally, he ended up losing the partial by 6-3.
And in the second part, things were no different. From the outset breaks and immediately a superiority of Félix. More powerful, more precise and smarter . Little by little, he sank a Gago who was already beginning to be physically overwhelmed against a rival who is one of the toughest players on the circuit.
Following this, Garin’s gestures of discomfort also started to be seen. With the result already so far away, the Chilean lost the thread of the match a bit, running out of chances when he had his service games and very far when he received.
Eventually what was evident during the game eventually materialized. Auger Aliassime was the best and got his prize, being able to play 16th in the Spanish Masters 1000.
Garin for his part says goodbye to Madrid early and will suffer the consequences. This Monday he will fall to 45th place in the world and we will have to play a good chance not to lose the top 50 in Rome . Last year in the land of gladiators he lost in the second round, so he defends 45 units.
