Tabilo lost in a close match to Berretini in the second round of the Indian Wells Masters

The third national racket left a good impression on this day by playing as equals to the number seven in the world and fifth seed of the tournament, the Italian Matteo Berretini. The peninsular won with partials of 6-4 and 7-5, in an hour and a half of play. The European made a difference with a break of service in each round, although he faced stiff resistance from the 24-year-old left-hander, who reached the ‘main draw’ of the Californian contest after winning two matches in the qualy. The Italian managed to break in the third game of the initial round, to be up 2-1, and in the eleventh game of the second chapter, to get 6-5 and then not fail with his serve to close the match in his favor. Tabilo says goodbye with a triumph in the main draw, in his first celebration in a tournament of these characteristics, beating last Friday the local player Denis Kudla (95th) by 6-1 and 7-6 (0). The Native of Canada has won three ITF category tournaments in professionalism: the M25 in Aktobe (2019), the Future 2 in the Dominican Republic (2018) and the Future 6 in Chile (2016). Later, Cristian Garin (17th) will make his debut in Indian Wells. The first national racket and thirteenth seed will play for the second round with the American Ernesto Escobedo (178th).
