Juan Pablo Varillas fell to Albert Ramos in the round of 16 at the Kitzbühel Open in Austria.

Juan Pablo Varillas' (ATP: 109) participation in the Open Kitzbühel in Austria, part of the ATP Tour 250, ended in the round of 16, after losing 2-0 to Spanish player Albert Ramos (ATP: 52), with scores of 6-3 and 6-4. Despite the early elimination, the Peruvian tennis player still has the opportunity to enter the Top 100 of the ranking.

The match at Court Kuechenmeister started with an advantage for the Spaniard, who took advantage of his serve and broke his opponent's serve, quickly taking a 3-0 lead in the first set. The comfortable distance on the scoreboard gradually consolidated and ended with a 6-3 victory, after approximately 46 minutes.

During the second game, 'Juanpi' showed greater solidity in the first points and everything was even (2-2). However, the Peruvian athlete lost momentum while serving and could not recover, falling 6-4, in approximately 48 minutes on the Tennis Stadium Kitzbühel court.

Remember that Juan Pablo Varillas had previously eliminated Spanish player Carlos Taberner in the round of 32 (2-0), but couldn't progress further and will now focus completely on the next tournament he will compete in: the Challenger Directv Open Lima, which will take place in early August.

Depending on other results, our national racket could reach the Top 100 of the ATP ranking in next week's update (he is currently virtually in 96th place). If the expected combination doesn't happen, the Peruvian still has the option to climb by adding victories in the upcoming competitions he will face.
