ATP 250 tournament
Ofner in the round of 16 in Geneva – now Ruud awaits
Sebastian Ofner has reached the round of 16 at the ATP 250 tournament in Geneva. The Styrian, who advanced from qualifying to the main competition, won against the Australian Rinky Hijikata on Monday with 4:6, 6:4, 6:3 after being a set behind. In the round of the best 16, Ofner will now face the Norwegian Casper Ruud, seeded number two.
Ofner, who has been 45th in the world rankings since Monday, converted his third match point against his 33-ranked opponent after almost exactly two hours of play. The Geneva tournament serves the players as a final test for the French Open in Paris starting next Sunday, where Ofner is a permanent fixture in the main competition.
Austria's current number one has played one match against the world number seven Ruud at ATP level. The Norwegian won in two sets in the Bastaad quarter-finals last year.
