Alejandro Tabilo appeared this week at the Copa Faulconbridge as the top seed. His journey led him to the semifinals, gathering another valuable experience that brings him closer to his ultimate goal.

And what is that goal? We all know it, not even Alejandro Tabilo (Toronto, 1997) hides it: "In the team, we aim to reach the top 10," says the current #35 in the rankings. Accompanied at the Copa Faulconbridge by Germán Gaich and Víctor Olguín, the best Chilean in the ATP circuit found himself outside the top hundred in the world last season, a turning point that led him to reinvent himself to return to the top ranks. Today, he competes as always, enjoys it even more, but does not settle. 'Jano' aims to take the leap to the next level. With his sights set on the upcoming Davis Cup tie against Spain, it was a good time to personally get to know him and bring this exclusive interview.

It must be a great feeling to look at the tournament draw and see your name at the top.

It's nice, motivating to see yourself up there in such an important tournament like a Challenger 175, it speaks well of all the hard work we have been doing this year. On that note, a few weeks ago in Aix-en-Provence, I was also at the top of the list and we did well, so I'm in a good moment.

You won the title there and made it to the semifinals here. At what point in your career are you right now?

I feel much more mature, more focused on what I want to do and my goals. Today, I know much better what my game is and what my strengths are. The 2025 season was tough after dropping significantly in the rankings and suffering some injuries, so it has been satisfying to return to where I was before all that. It motivates me, pushes me forward; the most important thing for me is to play with confidence.
