Alejandro Tabilo Álvarez (born 2 June 1997) is a Chilean and former Canadian professional tennis player. Tabilo has a career high ATP singles ranking of World No. 32 achieved on 6 May 2024. He also has a career high ATP doubles ranking of World No. 249 achieved on 22 February 2021. He is currently the No. 2 Chilean player.[1]

Professional career[edit]

2020: ATP Cup, Major and top 200 debuts[edit]

He participated at the 2020 ATP Cup with the Chilean team as the No. 2 player, making his debut. At his second tournament of the year, Tabilo qualified for his first Grand Slam at the 2020 Australian Open. He defeated fellow qualifier Daniel Elahi Galán in the first round,[2] losing to John Isner in straight sets in the second round.[3] This run resulted in his first top 200 ranking, reaching No. 172 on 3 February 2020, a career-high at that moment.[4]

Tabilo played in his home country tournament 2020 Chile Open via wildcard, and defeated Paolo Lorenzi in the first round, losing to Casper Ruud in the second round.[3]

On 14 September 2020, Tabilo reached his career-high ranking of World No. 156. He finished the year at No. 169.[4]

2021: Masters debut, First Challenger title, top 150[edit]

Tabilo tried to repeat his run on the 2021 Australian Open, but lost in first round of qualifying to Hugo Dellien. At 2021 Chile Open, Tabilo won a spot through the qualifying tournament, and won his first round match to Jozef Kovalík. He lost to fellow Chilean and eventual champion Cristian Garín in the second round.[3]

In March, Tabilo qualified to the main draw of 2021 Miami Open, his first Masters 1000 tournament. He lost to Mikael Ymer in the first round.[5]

In July, Alejandro reached his first Challenger final, at the Lexington Challenger. He lost the title to Jason Kubler.[6]

In October, Tabilo qualified to the main draw of 2021 BNP Paribas Open, and got his first win on a Masters 1000 level, defeating Denis Kudla. He lost to Matteo Berrettini in the second round, in his first match against a top 10 player.[3] The following month, Tabilo reached his second Challenger final at Guayaquil, Ecuador. He won his first Challenger title defeating Jesper de Jong in the final.[7] The title put Tabilo at a ranking of World No. 140 on 8 November 2021, becoming the No. 2 Chilean ranked singles player, after Cristian Garín.[8]

2022: First ATP final, back to Majors, top 65, Chilean No. 1[edit]

Tabilo participated in the 2022 ATP Cup where Chile defeated Norway (won his singles match against Viktor Durasovic) and Serbia in singles and in doubles partnering Tomás Barrios Vera but lost to Spain and Chile finished second in group A. Tabilo qualified for 2022 Australian Open after beating Australian local James McCabe in three sets, followed by victories over Constant Lestienne and Elias Ymer in straight sets.[2] He lost to 31st seed Carlos Alcaraz in the first round.[3]

In February, he reached his first ever ATP final at the Córdoba Open as a qualifier, defeating Francisco Cerúndolo, Carlos Taberner, Sebastián Báez and World No. 14 and the tournament's top seed Diego Schwartzman each in straight sets. He lost in the final to Albert Ramos-Viñolas 6–4, 3–6, 4–6, despite holding a double break lead at 4–1 in the third set.[9]

At the 2022 Chile Open he reached the semifinals as a wildcard defeating top seed and compatriot Cristian Garín[10][11] sixth seed Miomir Kecmanović in the quarterfinals. As a result, he made his top 100 debut at World No. 98 on 28 February 2022.[4]

In May, before the 2022 French Open, where he did not participate, he reached the top 80 on 16 May 2022.[12] He made his debut at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships and recorded his first win at this Major defeating Laslo Đere in a tight five set match with a super tiebreak in the fifth.[3] He reached a career high ranking of world No. 68 on 18 July 2022 and a week later another career high of No. 64 and became the Chilean player No. 1.[13]

He also recorded his first victory at the US Open defeating Kamil Majchrzak.[3]

2023: Masters fourth round, four Challenger titles[edit]

At the 2023 BNP Paribas Open as a qualifier, he reached the fourth round of a Masters for the first time in his career defeating another fellow qualifier Maximilian Marterer, 32nd seed Maxime Cressy and Jordan Thompson.[14] Despite this result he dropped out of the top 175 on 17 April 2023.[4]

He squared much better in the Challenger Tour level, where he won four titles between May and November[15] and returned to the top 100 finishing the year at world No. 85, his highest year-end ranking.[16][17]

2024: First ATP titles in singles and doubles, win over World No. 1[edit]

At the 2024 ASB Classic he reached the final as a qualifier defeating Cameron Norrie by walkover and sixth seed Arthur Fils in straight sets. In the final he defeated Taro Daniel also in straight sets and lifted his maiden ATP title. It made him the first Chilean to win a hard-court ATP title since Fernando Gonzalez in 2007 (Beijing) and the third active Chilean ATP singles champion alongside Cristian Garín and Nicolás Jarry.[18] As a result he reached the top 50 in the singles rankings on 15 January 2024 and became the Chilean No. 2 player.

At his home tournament, the 2024 Chile Open in Santiago, he reached the final in singles and won his first ATP title in doubles with compatriot Tomas Barrios Vera defeating another Chilean Matias Soto and Orlando Luz.[19] As a result he reached the top 40 in the singles rankings.

He reached the final at the 2024 Open Aix Provence Challenger in Aix-en-Provence, France[20] and moved into the top 35 in the rankings. He won the title defeating Jaume Munar in straight sets, becoming the first player to triumph on both the ATP Tour and the ATP Challenger Tour during the season.[15] The following week in Rome, as the 29th seed he received a bye into the second round, and defeated Yannick Hanfmann to reach the third round. Tabilo continued his good form by upsetting world no. 1 Novak Djokovic in straight sets for the biggest win in his career, to reach the fourth round at this tournament for the first time.[21][22] This was also Tabilo's first victory over a top 10 player.[23][24][25][26] He became the first Chilean player in 17 years to beat a world No. 1 since Fernando Gonzalez defeated Roger Federer at the 2007 Nitto Finals.[27] As a result he reached the top 30 in the live rankings.
