“Now that the audience is back in the stadiums, my fighter nature comes into its own. The spectators give me the strength to get up after setbacks and keep working hard, ”says Seppi, naming the main reason for his umpteenth spring on the international tennis arena.
Before the match against Hurkacz (he is number 13 in the world), the 37-year-old asked Jannik Sinner: “He has often played doubles with Hubie and lost to him in the Miami final. He knows him well, that’s why I checked with Sinner. Matteo Berrettini also gave me a few details. ”On the other hand, Seppi knows his next opponent, the German Oscar Otte, better.
This is what the next opponent says about Seppi
Otte is in the 3rd round of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time. The 28-year-old from Cologne defeated US professional Denis Kudla 6: 4, 6: 4, 6: 2 and now meets veteran Seppi. “A difficult match because he is very experienced and plays uncomfortably,” said Otte of Seppi, with whom he played in the Bundesliga together in Cologne.
