After falling in the round of 16 of the Zagreb Challenger, Alejandro Tabilo received great news to try to quickly recover to its elimination in Croatia. The Chilean entered the qualy of the ATP 250 in Geneva, after the dismissal of Brazilian Thiago Monteiro was confirmed. In this way, ‘Ale’ will seek to enter an ATP Main Draw for the third time in his career since the rankings, something he has already done in the past. Chile Open and the Miami Masters 1000, both disputed in March.
The world number 166 has tried four times to qualify at an ATP competition, for which he is 50 percent effective. The first time you looked for it was in the ATP 250 of Saint Petersburg 2019, but fell against Egor Gerasimov in the first round of the qualifying phase. Then in the ATP 250 of Buenos Aires 2021 lost without appeal against Sebastián Báez at the premiere of the qualy. After that, he had his first rematch. He was able to get into the Main Draw of Santiago (he beat Nicolás Álvarez, Pedro Sakamoto and Agustín Velotti), where he later reached the eighth, an instance in which he lost with Cristian Garin. And in the following week, he defeated Thai-Son Kwiatkowski and Damir Dzumhur to play a Masters 1000 for the first time (Miami).
The rival he will have is not yet known Table in his first match in the Swiss tournament. The truth is that Chile’s number two is presented with a good opportunity to take rhythm and measure himself against regular players in ATP qualies, all this thinking about the previous phase that he will have to play in Roland Garros. In that contest, he will seek to forget the dramatic situation that he experienced hours before playing the 2020 version, due to the fact that he was operated urgently by peritonitis.
