Mektic / Peya will meet the losers of the first match of the group "Llodra / Santoro" on Tuesday. Raven Klaasen / Michael Venus (RSA / NZL-6) lost in the first match of the tournament against Jamie Murray / Bruno Soares (GBR / BRA-4) with 5:10 at the playoffs.
The most important news for Peya, however, was the answer to the question of whether he was feeling intense pain. "Almost nothing really, it's positive, which is why it's not as bitter as another defeat," Peya said Sunday.
The Viennese is not yet completely free from her pain after an elbow injury in her right arm. For the 38 years, the Masters was already a kind of victory. "They gave us almost no chance to serve.They served very well." Towards the end, Mektic / Peya got better and better, Mektic had to give up the service at 4: 5 and the chances of instant recovery have not been exploited. "It's a bit secondary for me, because I'm glad there was no pain at all," said Peya.
"I played here twice until now, I won the first game and did not qualify for the semifinals." lost first and qualified, so everything is going as planned so far, "Peya said with a chuckle. He reached the semi-finals in 2013.
