The 24-year-old from Lower Austria faces a qualifying match on Monday at 5pm. "The spell is good for me, but you should never underestimate the qualifiers because they already have two matches in their legs," Novak said.
And there may well be another Austrian duel. Yuri Rodionov won the first qualifying round on Saturday with a 6: 2.6: 4 win over Latvia's Ernests Gulbis. "When I saw the draw, I was shocked and happy at the same time, I was really happy to be able to play in the center court, I played incredibly well and I was I played very smartly, "congratulated Rodionov for his performance
19-year-old climber remained after his victory still on the factory and observed in the third set his next opponent. He is measured Sunday with the Italian Lorenzo Sonego (Rodionov to: "certainly feasible") and is in the event of another victory for the first time in the main competition of Kitzbühel.
For Sebastian Ofner, he will likely be serious Tuesday. Even the Styrian, who has to defend a semifinal of the previous year, therefore meets a player of the elimination and could in case of victory on Topstar Thiem meet. "I do not even want to think about it for the moment, but first of all I'm looking forward to meeting a qualification, because I know them all very well," said Ofner, who longs for a duel with Thiem. "Playing for the first time against Dominic in a match would of course be madness."
In this regard, Thiem flew in a private jet to Kitzbühel on Saturday and will again be in doubles alongside his good friend Novak. The duo, who reached the final in 2016, received a double wildcard from tournament director Alexander Antonitsch. "For fans, that means they'll see Dominic on Tuesday," said the Carinthian.
