Ofner had to play Brit Jay Clarke in the first match of the day on Court 4. And didn't let anything burn with the sovereign 6: 4 and 6: 4. The next opponent will be a bigger challenge for the Styrian: Ofner meets the Australian Aleksander Vukic, who brought Spain's Mario Vilella Martinez to his knees 7:5 and 6:4.
For Dennis Novak, who started the qualifying competition as number 27, the dream of a place in the 128 grid of the French Open 2022 is already over. After a playing time of 1:51 hours, Novak lost to Italian Lorenzo Giustino 5: 7 and 6: 7 (4). In the tie-break of the second set, Novak led 3-0, but then gave up six points in a row.
Jurij Rodionov is the third Austrian to start qualifying on Tuesday. Rodionov, who recently won an ATP Challenger tournament in Mauthausen, starts against the German Maximilian Marterer.
