Style and personality
Alejandro Tabilo is a left-handed player with a two-handed backhand, known for his versatile game and ability to adapt across all surfaces. He thrives in mixing up rhythms: solid baseline play, well-timed drop shots, changes of pace, and angles are among his favorite weapons. His agility, especially for his height (1.88 m), allows him to chase down balls, recover, and extend rallies in ways that put pressure on opponents not used to playing off of consistent movement. He often uses his serve intelligently, rather than simply relying on power, to set up the point, and has shown good touch and variety, especially on slower surfaces.
Off the court, Tabilo is thoughtful and grounded. He idolized Rafael Nadal as a child, and that admiration shows up in his competitive attitude and in his willingness to grind when matches get tough.
Career
Alejandro Tabilo turned pro in 2015, and his early years saw gradual progress through the Challenger and ITF circuit before breaking into Grand Slam main draws. In 2020, he qualified for his first major at the Australian Open, winning his first Grand Slam match in five sets, which helped him rise into the Top 200.
His first ATP final came in 2022, at the Córdoba Open as a qualifier, where he defeated several strong opponents (including the top seed Diego Schwartzman) before narrowly losing the final. That same year he reached the top 100 for the first time.
2024 was his breakthrough season. He won his first ATP Tour title in Auckland, which made him the first Chilean man to win a hard-court tour level title since 2007. He followed that up by winning his second title at the Mallorca Championships, the first Chilean man in the Open Era to win on grass, which helped him reach a career-high ranking of No. 19 in July 2024. He also made his first Masters-1000 semifinal in Rome that year, highlighted by a win over Novak Djokovic.
In 2025, despite some ups and downs, he added to his achievements by claiming his third ATP title at the Chengdu Open, where he defeated Lorenzo Musetti in a tight final, saving match points and using his drop shot under pressure. That win helped him climb back up in the rankings and reaffirmed his ability to perform in clutch moments
