Strong performance by Jurij Rodionov : The Austrian defeated the Spanish clay court lover Albert Ramos-Vinolas 3: 6, 6: 1 and 6: 4 at the ATP 250 tournament in Estoril. The success over the 35-year-old veteran also came as a surprise because Rodionov had been playing indoors on hard court in Lille until Saturday.
In the round of 16, Rodionov meets the Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic on Thursday. With Dominic Thiem, who defended himself against compatriot Sebastian Ofner in three sets , another Austrian is in the second round. The 2020 US Open winner, for his part, has to deal with the American Ben Shelton.
There was also positive news from Marrakech from a red-white-red point of view. Alexander Erler and Lucas Miedler won the first round against Nicolas Jarry and Luis David Martinez 7:5 and 6:3. The third seeded duo meets Roman Jebavy and Adam Pavlasek from the Czech Republic in the round of 16.
