This victory marked his 16th win on hard courts this season against 12 losses.

Since 2021, Rinderknech has consistently remained in the top 100 of the ATP rankings, likely reaching his peak. He maintains this level thanks to two key aspects of his game: a powerful serve standing nearly two meters tall and a strong forehand. The Frenchman also occasionally shows solid performance on the baseline, a skill honed from his extensive experience on clay courts.

Alejandro Tabilo

Current Form
Last week, Tabilo had a disappointing performance in Tokyo. In that tournament, Alejandro lost in the first round to Holger Rune. This year, the Chilean has a record of ten wins and seven losses on outdoor hard courts.
Professional Qualities
Though primarily a clay court player, Tabilo was born and raised in Toronto, which enables him to compete well on hard surfaces.

Standing at 188 cm, Alejandro favors an aggressive style, featuring a strong serve and a solid flat forehand, often employing drop shots in his game.
Current Tour Statistics
Tabilo is currently ranked 22nd in the world. This season, Alejandro has claimed three titles, two of which are ATP events—winning on outdoor hard in Auckland and on grass in Mallorca.
