Fourth seed Alejandro Tabilo snapped a four-match losing streak on Wednesday, beating Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego 7-6 (2), 6-7 (7), 7-5 to reach the Stockholm quarter-finals on his tournament debut.
The 29-year-old Chilean, ranked No. 31, will next face sixth seed Alex Michelsen, who beat Juan Manuel Cerundolo 6-3, 6-2.
The win ended a four-match losing streak for Tabilo, whose previous victory had come against Paul in the first round in Tokyo. Making his debut at the Bybit Stockholm Open, he reached his 16th ATP Tour quarter-final and his sixth of the season. He also became the third Chilean quarter-finalist in the tournament’s history, after Rios in 2001 and 2002 and Massu in 2002.
Michelsen won their only previous meeting on tour, beating Tabilo 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 at the Miami Masters in March. The highest seed still alive in the neighbouring section of the draw is second seed Casper Ruud, a potential semi-final opponent.
Sonego, 31 and ranked No. 115, had beaten France’s Quentin Halys 6-4, 7-6 (4) in the first round, a year after reaching the Stockholm quarter-finals.
