At the beginning, Miedler invited his good friend Sebastian Ofner. The Styrian spoke about a growth spurt at the age of 18 and how difficult it is to combine school education with tennis.
In the 2017 season, Ofner set his previous career highlight. At Wimbledon, he struggled through the qualification and reached the third round with a win over Jack Sock. "When I made it into the main competition, I needed new clothing. So I went into the shop there and bought two white Adidas bodies," Ofner said.
Miedler explained that Ofner worked as a hobby DJ a few years ago. "Unfortunately I gave up. But there was a short period when I thought I could do it. But I had no idea about music, so it will be difficult," said Ofner.

Oliver Marach gives Corona update
Miedler also dialed in double specialist Oliver Marach. This gave an update on the circumstances with the corona crisis in Panama: "It is getting stricter. Now the exit times are gender-separated. Women are allowed out Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the men Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Sunday is a general curfew."
And further: "I read a lot about the virus. There are many live broadcasts and articles on the Internet. We are very much misled in this world. Do not misunderstand: I am not saying that this virus is not dangerous. I believe that Numbers of death rates are wrong. In Europe this is handled better. In Ecuador they have to burn some of the bodies on the street. "
After Marach, Dominik Schulz was a guest. The 28-year-old was a former top 10 player in the junior division and is now the tournament director of the challengers at the Schwaben Open in Augsburg. "I was injured for the whole of my 18th and 19th years, first on the wrist, then a herniated disc. But then I also made wrong decisions, like changing my racket."
After a few successes in double tournaments and a lack of progress on the future and challenge tour, he decided to end his tennis career. He went back to school in his mid-20s, caught up on a technical college diploma and, as a result, did an internship at Bayern Munich. He attached a degree in sports management and thus came to the role as an official in the Challenger tournament.
This moved from the Munich district (formerly Isar Open) to Augsburg. The event is now a bit smaller, but there is a more exclusive audience, the competition to other events is not that big. "I think it was a good move," said Schulz, who works for Nike in the Team Sales department.
After a short chat with Dennis Novak, Andrea Schlager, Antonia Lottner and coach Patrice Hopfe you have to say: Successful debut of "Luci"!
