Tabilo vs Tirante Prediction 13 November 2026
🔊 Alejandro Tabilo and Thiago Agustin Tirante will each play an ATP-level indoor hard-court semi-final for the first time in their careers in Stockholm. The milestones do not end there: Tabilo has become only the second Chilean in the tournament’s history to reach the semi-finals, while this is just Tirante’s third semi-final on the main men’s tour and his second this season. That makes it all the more intriguing to see which of these South American clay-court specialists will emerge as the stronger title contender.
Head-to-Head
📊 Alejandro Tabilo leads the head-to-head 3-1. However, in their only match on a hard court-albeit an outdoor one at a 2025 Challenger event in Cancun-it was Tirante who came out on top.
Head-to-head statistics Tabilo - Tirante
Alejandro Tabilo Player Overview
Alejandro Tabilo heads into the semi-final in inconsistent form over the longer term, with just three wins in his last ten matches. Nevertheless, he has managed to regroup in Stockholm and end a four-match losing streak, beating Lorenzo Sonego (7:6; 6:7; 7:5) and Alex Michelsen (7:5; 7:6). Matches involving him last an average of 25.6 games, and he holds serve in 83% of his service games. His first-serve percentage is also high at 68%, helping him hold serve even against opponents of a similar level, not least thanks to his left-handed advantage.
Match Results: Alejandro Tabilo
Thiago Agustin Tirante Player Overview
Thiago Agustin Tirante has won four of his last ten matches and, since reaching the quarter-finals of the Cincinnati Masters in August, has not won more than one match in the main draw of any ATP tournament. In Stockholm, he beat Jaume Munar (7-6, 6-3), advanced past Tomas Martin Etcheverry after his opponent retired, and defeated Alexander Shevchenko (7-6, 6-7, 6-3). He did not lose a service game against Shevchenko. The Argentine plays an average of 23.6 games per match, while his rate of winning points on his own serve reaches 84%. Tirante regularly hits double figures for aces, giving him added confidence on serve. However, straight-sets wins are rare for him: only two of his last ten matches ended without him dropping a set.

Key factors
- Matches involving Alejandro Tabilo average 25.6 games, compared with 23.6 for Thiago Agustin Tirante.
- Tabilo has the edge in their head-to-head meetings, but Tirante claimed the only win on hard court.
- Both players have a low proportion of straight-sets wins in their last ten matches.
- Both players hold serve in more than 80% of their service games.
Expected scenario
The match between Tabilo and Tirante should be closely contested: both players hold serve confidently and rarely win or lose without dropping or taking a set. Long sets, or even a deciding set, are highly likely, with little to separate them on the scoreboard, as in their previous meetings on Swedish courts. Expect plenty of exchanges in rallies and easy points on serve: despite both South Americans being primarily baseline players, they are exceptionally effective with their serves.
⭐ Editor’s Pick
The two players enter the semi-final with similar overall statistics and consistent serves, so the upcoming South American derby could become a tug-of-war for the initiative in their own service games. The match is unlikely to end in a quick rout: spectators can expect a close contest with few early breaks, a high likelihood of tie-breaks and a total that exceeds one of the higher lines. Both players have expended a similar amount of energy on their way to the semi-finals, given that Tabilo started in the second round and one of Tirante’s matches did not take place. With that in mind, the most likely bet is Total Games Over 22.5.
