"The crowd goes wild": the ATP surrenders to Alejandro Tabilo's great victory over Andrey Rublev in Miami.

Alejandro Tabilo (41st in the ATP ranking) delivered a major upset on Saturday at the Miami Masters 1000. The Chilean tennis player broke the predictions that favored Russian Andrey Rublev, eliminating him with a stunning victory by scores of 6-7(5), 6-2, and 6-4. Considering the opponent he faced, this could be said to be the best victory for the national player so far this season.

The Moscow native is ranked within the Top 20 globally, specifically in 16th place. Previously, the highest-ranked player he had defeated was Brazilian Joao Fonseca, ranked 39th, in the round of 16 at the ATP in Buenos Aires. Given the stature of his opponent, the Chilean celebrated wholeheartedly as he advanced to the third round of the competition held in Florida.

This moment was captured in a video shared by the official ATP Tour account in Spanish. The footage shows the celebration of the Canadian-born player right after scoring the point that sealed his victory over the European. The site also highlights the significant support from the Chilean fans, who flocked to Court 7 at the Hard Rock Stadium sports complex in Miami Gardens.

“The crowd goes wild in 3, 2, 1... Ale Tabilo and his fans are already in the 3rd round of the Miami Open,” they posted. After this wild celebration with the Chilean fans, the country's top player is preparing to face American Alex Michelsen (40th), who eliminated British player Cameron Norrie (24th).
