Great fighting performance by Daniel Altmaier: The 23-year-old from Kempen defeated Moldovan Radu Albot (ATP 108) after 2:12 hours of play in the round of 16 of the ATP hard court tournament in Pune (India) after losing the first set 3: 6, 6:4 and 6:4. The current world number 85. will have to deal with either the Italian Gianluca Mager, who is ranked three, or the Portuguese Joao Sousa in the round of the last eight.

At the end of last season, Altmaier, who was seeded five in the Asian metropolis of three million, was twice in the finals of the ATP Challenger Tour (Knoxville, USA and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico). For North Rhine-Westphalia it is the fourth quarterfinal participation on the ATP tour (Antalya 2017, Umag and Kitzbühel 2021).

Here is the single draw from Pune.
