In the quarterfinals of the ATP 250s in Mallorca, ÖTV ace Sebastian Ofner will face the young US-American Alex Michelsen (ATP 62nd) on Thursday (from 3:30 p.m./LIVE ticker >>>).
The Styrian’s path to the round of the last eight was quite successful. At the start of the grass tournament on the Spanish island, he defeated Jaume Munar (ESP/ATP-63.) and then two seeded players, the Italian Luciano Darderi (ITA/ATP-37.).
Michelsen had a similarly successful start to the tournament. With two straight wins without losing a set against Nuno Borges (POR/ATP-51.) and against the number three seed Adrian Mannarino (FRA/ATP-22.), the US youngster is also among the best eight.
In the direct comparison, the score is 1:0 for Michelsen. The 19-year-old narrowly defeated Ofner 7:6(4),7:5 in Winston-Salem last year.
These players made the jump to ATP number 1
