Austria’s number three did not find the game well against Koepfer and was soon behind with a break. Then, of course, a long pause in the rain came in handy for him. “I’m glad there was an interruption because Dominik started very strong and I was still a bit stiff and nervous,” said Rodionov afterwards. “I knew I would be a little more relaxed after the break. I started again in the second sentence, made sure that I push myself and stay positive. “
