ATP 250 Mallorca QF: [4] Tabilo def. Mensik 6-4, 6-4
Post-Match ThreadTabilo has got a great game for Grass. Seems like his game is really coming together this year.
Late bloomer? I hadn’t heard much from him before his win in Auckland this year
He was already in top 100 in early 2022 but his form crashed and dropped hard in the rankings. Started getting things back on track only by the end of the last year
Do you think it could against Monfils experience? I see Tabilo with quite a bit of confidence but I don't know if he could do it against Monfils, what do you think?
Definitely think Tabilo will have the better chance of winning - he plays a lot more aggressively than Monfils which will be super advantageous on a grass court. Monfils does a lot more pushing and he won't be able to keep his fitness up against someone who will play drops shots while he prefers to stay at the baseline. Unless of course Monfils starts playing more aggressively and gets his serve right then it could go either way.
Very unfortunate with the double fault on the last point… I was there and it was extremely windy in that moment.
Bummer, I like Mensik's game. Expecting big things from the youngster.
Rafa is from Mallorca I know this without google
