With a hard-fought 4:6,7:6(5),6:2 win over the Italian Andrea Vavassori after 2:30 hours, Filip Misolic was the last player to make it into qualification for the Vienna City Hall tournament on Sunday evening.
The 22-year-old Styrian, who sensationally made it to the Kitzbühel final last year, is the third Austrian in the main competition of Austria’s largest tennis tournament, alongside Sebastian Ofner and Dominic Thiem, who received wild cards.
“I feel good”
“The relief is very great. I’m happy, it was a difficult match,” said a happy Misolic after his important victory. He reached the round of 16 in Stockholm this week and showed good form. “I played four good matches in Stockholm. I’m feeling good at the moment.”
Shortly afterwards, his opponent in the first round was announced: it would be the Briton Cameron Norrie. Against the world number 18. Misolic, who reached the Baastad quarter-finals this year, has never played before.
“I just kept seeing him on TV. My team and I will try to find the right tactics.”
He doesn’t have long to do that, because the first round match starts on Monday (2nd match after 5:30 p.m.).
Misolic made his debut in Vienna last year thanks to a wildcard, but suffered a 3:6, 3:6 defeat against the Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo.
