Who would have thought that Jürgen Melzer in his prime would really feel like playing solo? Well: The corona-related ATP break makes it possible for "Jojo" to go to Bütt again as a single, as part of the Generali Austrian Pro Series, which starts next Monday in Vienna's Südstadt. But today we want to celebrate the two-time major winner in doubles - on the occasion of his 39th birthday. And once again look back at some pictures of a career that brought five titles in single and 16 in pairs to Melzer. All the best, Jojo!
