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 upset by defeating the third seed, Chilean Alejandro Tabilo, ranked 30th in the ATP rankings, with a double 6-4. This way, he qualified for 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 main draw against Nikoloz Basilashvili. However, far from being satisfied with that success, Torres showed a great level again to overcome one of the main favorites of the tournament and achieve two highly valuable 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 surpass Brazilian João Fonseca this week, but his defeat in Estoril allows the young Brazilian to maintain his position.
Fonseca will once again be ranked as world number 27 after Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech also fell in the round of 16 of the ATP 250 in Kitzbühel. A combination of results that directly benefits the Brazilian player.
Meanwhile, 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 happens in that match, his week is already historic: the world number 427 has defeated a former Top 20 player and one ranked among the 30 best on the planet to reach the quarterfinals of an ATP tournament.
