Chengdu Open – Tabilo Wins Third Career Title
Chilean qualifier Alejandro Tabilo capped a dream week by saving two championship points and defeating top seed Lorenzo Musetti 6-3, 2-6, 7-6 (5) to win the Chengdu Open.
It marked Tabilo’s third ATP Tour title and his first of the season. The 28-year-old became just the second qualifier to lift a trophy in 2025, joining Jenson Brooksby, who won in Houston this past April.
Tabilo’s path wasn’t flawless — he struck 29 winners to Musetti’s 37 while committing 44 unforced errors to the Italian’s 23. But his clutch play at 5-6 in the deciding set, fending off two match points before storming back from 4-1 down in the tiebreak, sealed his victory.
| Chengdu Final | Tabilo | Musetti |
|---|---|---|
| Winners | 29 | 37 |
| Unforced Errors | 44 | 23 |
| Break Points Faced | 4 | 3 |
| Championship Pts Saved | 2 | 0 |
