Overview
- Alejandro Tabilo defeated Lorenzo Musetti 6-3, 2-6, 7-6(5) to capture the ATP 250 Chengdu crown after coming through qualifying.
- Tabilo’s triumph is his third ATP title and first of the season, capped by wins over Luciano Darderi and Brandon Nakashima en route.
- Musetti held two championship points in the decider but his title drought since Napoli 2022 continues, extending a run of lost finals.
- With the Chengdu runner-up finish, Musetti rises to seventh in the ATP Race on 3,235 points, boosting his bid to qualify for the Finals in Turin.
- Attention turns to the Asia hard-court swing: in Beijing Jannik Sinner opens against Marin Cilic and Musetti faces Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, while in Tokyo Carlos Alcaraz draws Sebastian Baez, Matteo Berrettini meets Jaume Munar and Luciano Darderi plays Yoshihito Nishioka.
