Ofner also out early in Winston-Salem – fifth defeat in a row!
Sebastian Ofner experienced another disappointment at the ATP hard court tournament in Winston-Salem. The Austrian tennis player was eliminated in the first round after losing to Czech Vit Kopriva 3:6, 6:4, 3:6. This is Ofner's fifth opening defeat in a row, joining tournaments in Båstad, Kitzbühel, Toronto and Cincinnati.
Although Ofner had a break advantage in the second set, he was unable to capitalize on this advantage. In the coming period he will not be the only Austrian player on site. Filip Misolic, Austria's number one, will face the American Aleksandar Kovacevic in the first round. After the tournament in Winston-Salem, the players will face the US Open, the last Grand Slam tournament of the year, which begins on August 24th.
The challenge for Ofner
The series of first round defeats raises questions about Sebastian Ofner's current form. Accordingly, it will be crucial for him to regain confidence and start the coming tournaments with new vigor. The US Open is an important test to prove yourself in international tennis.
