Tennis star in public family feud as dad digs him out during slide down rankings
Alejandro Tabilo is enduring a difficult season and has fallen outside the top 50, despite upsetting Novak Djokovic just over a month ago in Monte Carlo, and his dad has now dug him out on social media. The Chilean woke up on Monday as the world No. 59, a big drop since breaking into the top 20 last year.
He is recovering from a bone oedema in his left wrist and was forced to pull out of the Italian Open, where he reached the semi-finals last year. He is aiming to be fit for the French Open but preparations are being hampered by off-court issues. As large portions of the world celebrated Mother’s Day this past weekend, including Chile, the country’s tennis organisation posted a photo with several of their players and mothers, thanking them for their support.
