At Canada Challenger
ÖTV youngster Schwärzler already in the quarter-finals
Without shedding a single drop of sweat, Joel Schwärzler from Vorarlberg entered the quarter-finals of the ATP 75 Challenger tournament in Drummondville in the Canadian province of Quebec last night. The reason: His Argentinian opponent Facundo Mena had to retire before the start of the match.
It is unclear what exactly made the 199th-ranked player in the ATP world rankings decide not to play in the round of 16 of the ATP Challenger in Drummondville (Kan). The fact is that the number five seed Facundo Mena (Arg) let Joel Schwärzler progress to the quarter-finals of the indoor hard court tournament without a fight.
Supposedly beatable opponent awaits
And now a seemingly beatable opponent awaits the 18-year-old Harder in the form of US-American Aidan Mayo. The 21-year-old US boy is currently ranked 437th in the world rankings, but had already climbed to 269th in May.
Fourth quarter-final appearance for Joel
This is Schwärzler's fourth appearance in a Challenger quarter-final, although he has only made it to the semi-finals once before. That was in May, when he won the tournament in the North Macedonian capital Skopje and claimed his first ATP title.
