Three Austrians started in round one at Wimbledon 2023. And all three had to say goodbye on Wednesday. After Sebastian Ofner had previously caught Jiri Lehecka and Dennis Ofner against Milos Raonic, he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas, who was fifth, in the late afternoon despite a strong performance 6: 3, 6: 7 (1), 2: 6, 7 :6 (5) and 6:7 (8).
After resuming the game that was interrupted yesterday, Tsitsipas first equalized the set with a confidently played tie-break in round two. The next few minutes also belonged to the Greek, who played much better than on Tuesday. Which was also expressed in the 6:2 in the third act. After that, Thiem was able to survive a few critical moments. And force a decisive sentence with a strong tie-break.
