The Chilean Christian Garín made a historic feat on Thursday night: claimed to be in the top 100 ATP rankings for the first time in his career, having beaten Bolivian Bolivian Hugo Dellien (116th) by 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 for the quarterfinals of the Lima Challenger and his 14th consecutive victory.
Yes, something hesitant at first. Dellien, considered the second best tennis player in history, was a complicated opponent and took the first set with little difficulty.
Already in the second set, Garín began to demonstrate why he had been dreaming for several weeks and had managed to match the action after defeating his rival twice. And in the final set, he shows all the claw that characterizes him: returns 4-1 to finally win the match.
With this triumph, the Chilean stands momentarily at the 96th rank, although he has already obtained the 100th position. In addition, it will be the first time in eight years that Chile will have two tennis players in the elite since the week of June 21, 2010, while Fernando González was 22nd and Nicolás Mbadú 99th.
The next rival of Garín, will face the Brazilian Thiago Monteiro (115 °), who won the retirement victory of the Argentine Federico Delbonis (84 °).
