Chilean (former Canadian junior) Alejandro Tabilo, though 26-years-old, seems to have emerged fully formed from a cabbage patch this year, rocketing from #190 a year ago to #25 on the live ATP rankings. He defeated Zhang today in straight, entertaining sets, following his earlier defeats of Nole and Khachanov. He is so calm and matter-of-fact out there, just going about his business with no muss and no fuss. But he has a fine all-around game with no obvious weaknesses and a forehand that can hurt people. His rise is partly explained by his success in Challengers last year as he won four of them, certainly a big boost to his confidence. Whoever he meets in the semis better bring their "A" game.
