Alejandro Tabilo left his US Open defeat to Alexander Zverev with a clear diagnosis: the next step is mental. The Chilean, ranked 28th in the world, fell to the German second seed in straight sets in the third round.

When I play these matches, I come out tense and nervous. I had a very bad start. I couldn’t feel the ball at all and my serve was terrible. When I don’t serve well, I start getting tense from the baseline. I have to work on the mental side.

Tabilo also said he needed to attack important moments more decisively. “I have to come out more eager to finish points. I had it there and I only needed to be a little more aggressive,” he said.
