This Sunday, Cristian Garin and Alejandro Tabilo will play the third round of Indian Wells.
Cristian Garin (97°) y Alejandro Tabilo (187°) They go for a Sunday of glory. Chileans continue to compete in Indian Wells, which is played in California, after having won two games in the qualy and two in the main draw. Now, they want to settle in the round of 16.
Gago, who comes from dispatching the Colombian Daniel Galán (89th) and the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka (34th), will be the first to take the field. At 3:00 p.m., they will face off against the Norwegian Casped Ruud (4°)who advanced to the third round after beating Argentine Diego Schwartzman (38th).
The third seed of the tournament on cement appears as the most difficult opponent for Gago so far. But the history favors the second Chilean racket: he beat him in the semifinals of Sao Paulo in 2019 and the final in Houston 2019, and only lost to him in the ATP Cup in 2022.
“/>Then it will be Jano’s turn. The Chilean who sent home the German Maximilian Marterer (156th) and the American Maxime Creassy (37th) in the main draw will collide with the Australian Jordan Thompson (87°) not before 11:00 p.m.
The oceanic tennis player comes from a bump: he defeated the third in the world, the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, in the round of 64, and left him with no options to climb to the first place in the ATP ranking. Earlier, in his debut in the round of 128, Thompson beat Frenchman Gael Monfils (210th).
