  • Chilean tennis player Alejandro Tabilo, ranked 28th in the ATP, will face Germany's Yannick Hanfmann in the first round of the US Open main draw.
  • Tabilo and Hanfmann have played each other three times this year, with Tabilo winning two matches and Hanfmann winning one.
  • If Tabilo advances, he could face a challenging third-round match against world No. 2 Alexander Zverev.

Chilean tennis player Alejandro Tabilo, currently ranked 28th in the ATP, knows his first-round opponent for the US Open main draw. The draw for the season's final Grand Slam tournament was held in New York on Thursday.

Tabilo, the 25th seed in the tournament, will open his campaign against Germany's Yannick Hanfmann, who is ranked 54th. The two players have already met three times this year. Tabilo emerged victorious in both the ATP 250 in Buenos Aires and the second round of the Masters 1000 in Rome. Hanfmann secured a win in the group stage of the Davis Cup Finals in Zhuhai.

Should Tabilo successfully navigate his opening match, he is slated to face the winner of the match between Australia's Alexei Popyrin (ranked 130th) and either a qualifier or a lucky loser in the second round. The path forward presents a significant challenge, as a potential third-round encounter could pit Tabilo against Germany's Alexander Zverev, the current world number two and a strong favorite for the title.
