After a 95-minute season, Kohlschreiber won 6: 3 and 7: 6 (3) and once again celebrated a sense of achievement in the main draw of an ATP Tour tournament. The last to date is from Kitzbühel, where the carbon scribe, who had meanwhile slipped down to position 76 of the ATP world ranking list, defeated Richard Gasquet. After leaving the US Open, Kohlschreiber had tried in three tournaments of the Challenger Tour, after all, reached the semifinals in Florence.
In round two it is for the native Augsburg against Karen Khachanov. He is placed behind tournament favorite Daniil Medvedev in second place. While the Russian is in desperate need of qualifying points for the ATP final in London, Kohlschreiber will need to collect match practice for a potential stake in the Davis Cup final tournament in Madrid.
