The first appearance and farewell of Alejandro Tabello in Madrid

Alejandro Tabello (No. 38 in the ATP Rankings) appeared first on Madrid Masters 1000But it cannot be with victory. The Chileans were defeated by the Italians Flavio Copoli (No. 64) by 7-5, 4-6, and 4-6.

Tabelo began to take control of the match with an early break and led 5-2. Copoli, far from giving up, managed to level the score at 5-5. Then the Chilean player showed everything he had to break his opponent again in the decisive match and win the first set.

The second group continued in the same direction. Everything was even until 4-4, when Copoli moved forward, broke Tabelo's serve and then closed out the set with his own serve.

The final chapter started in the best possible way for the Chilean. Quick break and 3-0 lead. However, from there, his level dropped dramatically and thus he ended up losing the match.

Despite the defeat, the 26-year-old is having a fantastic season. He became champion at the ATP 250 in Auckland, reached the final of the ATP 250 in Santiago and reached the semifinals at the ATP 250 in Bucharest. Their next destination will be Rome, which takes place in two weeks.

Nicholas Gary (No. 23) will have the opportunity to avenge his compatriot's defeat as he next faces Koboli.
