The Chilean Alejandro Tabilo (139th in the world ranking) got the first point for our country on Norway in Group A of the ATP Cup, by achieving a hard-fought victory over Viktor Durasovic (345 °).
It was in one hour and 52 minutes that the second national singles player won the victory, by partials of 6-1, 6-7 (7) and another final 6-1.
Despite the fact that the Canadian-born hesitated in the second sleeve and let go of a good lead in the tie break, managed to stay focused and lash out again on the final set.
“I had a few chances to have closed it earlier but the opportunity slipped away. I had worked well in the preseason. and he was looking for this first victory of the year. Playing as the second singles player for my country is an honor, “the national racket stated briefly after the match.
Thanks to this result, Chile won its first point against Norway in the Australian tournament, leaving the task to his compatriot Cristian Garin in the clash with Casper Ruud, number eight of the world.
Point, Chile ????????
