Wimbledon: Ofner starts against world number 81
Sebastian Ofner will face Australian Aleksandar Vukic in the first round of the 50 million pound All England Tennis Championships in Wimbledon on Monday.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The 28-year-old Styrian, who was in action in the semi-finals of the grass court tournament on Mallorca on Friday, has played the world number 81 three times and has a 1:2 record. If Ofner wins, the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will probably be a huge hurdle to overcome.
The Spaniard, seeded No. 3, is the heavy favorite against Estonian qualifier Mark Lajal in the opener. Ofner is playing in the main event of the third Grand Slam tournament of the year for only the third time. His best result to date was reaching the third round in 2017 after qualifying.
Record
Austria's only representative in the singles competitions last lost to Vukic this year in the Marrakesh round of 16 by the narrow margin of 6:7(11), 6:2, 6:7(7). Ofner also lost in three sets at Challenger level in Nur Sultan in 2019 and won 6:2,6:4 in the second French Open qualifying round in 2022.
