Strong opening win for Filip Misolic: In the first round of the hard court challenger in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the 21-year-old from Styria easily beat the German Cedrik-Marcel Stebe 6:1, 6:1 in just 56 minutes of play. The Austrian, who was seeded on four at the ATP Challenger 75 event, will face either the Spanish qualifier Alejandro Moro Canas or the Italian Francesco Maestrelli in the round of 16.
Misolic failed at the Australian Open in round one of the qualification against the Italian Gianluca Mager in the tie-break of the third set. Last week at the Challenger tournament in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, after an opening win over the Czech Tomas Machac (ATP 110), he fought his way to the quarter-finals, where he was eliminated in three rounds against the Turk Altug Celikbilek.
