  • Chilean tennis player Alejandro Tabilo will compete at the ATP 500 tournament in Tokyo after the US Open.
  • Tokyo will be his second event on the Asian swing, following the ATP 250 tournament in Chengdu, where he plans to defend his title.
  • Tabilo has lost in the opening round in his two previous Tokyo appearances and will face a field that includes Carlos Alcaraz, Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz.

Alejandro Tabilo is adding another demanding stop to the final stretch of his season. The Chilean, ranked 28th by the ATP, will play at the prestigious ATP 500 tournament in Tokyo after beginning his US Open campaign with a strong win over Germany’s Yannick Hanfmann, ranked 54th.

Tokyo will be Tabilo’s second tournament on the Asian swing. He had already confirmed that he would travel to Chengdu to defend the title he won at the ATP 250 event there.

The Tokyo tournament offers the left-hander a chance to change his record at the event. Tabilo will compete there for the third straight year, having lost in the opening round in both previous editions, against Denmark’s Holger Rune and Belgium’s Zizou Bergs.

The Japanese tournament will feature a strong field. Alongside Tabilo, the entry list includes Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, ranked third, and Americans Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz, ranked ninth and 10th, respectively.

The ATP 500 in Tokyo will take place from September 30 to October 6. It will lead into the Shanghai Masters, the final major stop of the Asian swing.
