Dominic Thiem, Sebastian Ofner and Julia Grabher received “reinforcements” from Austria in the main competition of the French Open on Friday! Because Jurij Rodionov can also unexpectedly serve at the second major tournament of the year, the Lower Austrian was lucky and came into the main draw as one of three lucky losers in the qualification.
Rodionov gets an opportunity for revenge in the first round at Roland Garros when he meets local hero Lucas Pouille again. 7, 0:6 were left behind. Should the ÖTV player win, the winner of the duel between number 14 seeded Cameron Norrie and Benoit Paire from France would be waiting in round two.
