French Open
Erler/Miedler out in the second round
Austria's Davis Cup doubles team Alexander Erler/Lucas Miedler were eliminated in the second round of the French Open on Saturday. Last year's Kitzbühel title winners lost to the top seeds Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos (ESP/ARG) 6:7(3), 2:6 after 81 minutes.
This means that Austria is only represented in the juniors at this Grand Slam, where the singles has not yet begun with Joel Schwärzler from Vorarlberg.
Hoping for an Olympic ticket
In their quest to qualify for the Olympics, Erler/Miedler must now wait to see how the competition performs. What counts is the world rankings that will be published in a week's time on Monday (June 10). In the doubles, the top ten are guaranteed a place if they have a partner - from the same country - with a top 300 ranking. A further 14 places in the 32-team grid will be allocated via the combined ranking of the respective doubles partners. Erler/Miedler made up places thanks to their opening win in Paris on Friday and are 39th in the live ranking (combined 78th).
