Misolic: Austria's new tennis star overtakes in the ranking!

Posen, Polen - Austria has a new number 1 in tennis: Filip Misolic fought for the top position with his impressive victory in the final in Poznan. The 23-year-old prevailed 6-2, 6-0 against the 22-year-old Dalibor Svrčina in just 75 minutes and thus celebrated his fourth challenger title. With this success, Misolic was able to climb 110 in the ATP world rankings, which represents his personal record. He thus overtakes the 29-year-old Sebastian Ofner, who with 115 points is 115, as oe24.at reports.

The success story of Misolic also includes a remarkable appearance at the French Open, where he reached the main field. There he defeated Denis Shapovalov and competed against tennis star Novak đoković in the third round. With a view to the upcoming lawn season, Misolic is planning to continue playing successfully on the way to Wimbledon.

Ofner's health problems

Sebastian Ofner, on the other hand, was less lucky. He failed in the qualification in Mallorca after first won the first set against Rinky Hijikata. In the decisive tie -break of the second set, however, he missed four match balls and finally had to give up in the third set at 1: 3. The reason for this was heel pain that had already affected him in Halle. Ofner announced that the pain on lawns was even worse to do, which made his preparation for Mallorca considerably more difficult.

Despite his current problems, OFNER gives the all -clear for Wimbledon. Thanks to his protected ranking, he will be represented in the main field and hopes that his heel will hold "for one or two matches" so that he can take his chances of a good tournament. The current situation shows how challenging the competition conditions for the players in tennis can be.
