Tiago Torres continues to defy all odds at the ATP 250 in Estoril. The Portuguese, ranked 427th in the world, once again caused a huge surprise by defeating the third seed, Chilean Alejandro Tabilo, ranked 30th in the ATP ranking, with a double 6-4 score. This way, he advanced to the quarterfinals and continues to make history in his country's tournament.
The 24-year-old player had already secured his first career victory in an ATP circuit main draw against Nikoloz Basilashvili. However, far from being satisfied with that success, Torres once again delivered a great performance to overcome one of the tournament's top favorites and achieve two significant wins in his first participation in an ATP main draw.
Tiago Torres lends a hand to João Fonseca
The victory of the Portuguese also had direct consequences in the ranking battle. Alejandro Tabilo was one of the players who could have surpassed Brazilian João Fonseca this week, but his defeat in Estoril allows the young Brazilian to maintain his position.
Fonseca will return to the 27th position in the world after Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech also fell in the round of 16 at the ATP 250 in Kitzbühel. A combination of results that directly benefits the Brazilian player.
In the meantime, Tiago Torres is already thinking about his next challenge. The Portuguese will face Frenchman Hugo Gaston for a spot in the semifinals of the tournament. Whatever the outcome of that match, his week is already historic: the 427th player in the world has defeated a former Top 20 and a player ranked among the top 30 on the planet to reach the ATP tournament quarterfinals.
