AAll three Austrians who qualified for the main competition of the Kitzbühel ATP tennis tournament do not yet know their opponents after the draw. Sebastian Ofner, seeded number four, has a bye in the first round, Dominic Thiem and Filip Misolic each have to deal with a qualifier. This could be Dennis Novak from Pottendorf, for example, who defeated compatriot Joel Schwärzler 6:4,6:1 at the start of the qualification.
On Saturday, Lukas Neumayer played against the top seeded Argentinian Federico Coria, Lucas Miedler from Tullner against Hamad Medjedovic from Serbia and Maximilian Neuchrist against Facundo Bagnis from Argentina.
The top seeded Argentinian French Open quarterfinalist Tomas Martin Etcheverry, the German Yannick Hanfmann (2) and the Argentinian Pedro Cachin (3) also have a bye in the first main round. Misolic and Ofner are drawn on the upper branch with Etcheverry, Thiem on the lower branch with Hanfmann. The winner of the game Luca van Assche (FRA) against Alex Molcan (SVK) is waiting for Ofner.
