The 37-year-old tennis professional from Augsburg was defeated in his first round match at eye level to the Canadian Denis Shapovalov, who was seeded in tenth place, with 4: 6, 6: 4, 3: 6, 7: 5, 4: 6. Because of the rain, the game originally scheduled for Monday had been postponed to Tuesday. Even then, the typically British weather caused an interruption of around four hours.
Even for qualifier Daniel Masur, the Wimbledon adventure is over again after the premiere appearance in the main draw. After the first round match of the 26-year-old Munich was canceled on Monday after winning the starting set due to darkness, Masur lost on Tuesday against the South Korean Kwon Soonwoo 7: 6 (7: 2), 3: 6, 4: 6, 4: 6. He missed the German second round duel with Dominik Koepfer (Furtwangen).
