Andreas Seppi celebrates his comeback in Parma

For Seppi, the tournament in Emilia Romagna is also the dress rehearsal for the second Grand Slam tournament of the year, the French Open, which begins on May 30th in Paris. Here too, the South Tyrolean, who is currently in 93rd place, is in the main field. This year an ATP tournament will take place in Parma for the first time. There Seppi has to deal with Sebastian Korda at the start. So far, the Überetscher and the 20-year-old US boy have faced each other once, last year in the first round of the French Open, where Korda was able to prevail in four sets. Korda is a strong player and has already reached the final in Delray Beach and the quarterfinals at the Masters 1000 tournament in Miami this year. Seppi has only played six tournaments this year. In Melbourne 1 and at the Australian Open, Max Sartori's protégé failed in round 1, and at the ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam, Seppi was stuck with Cameron Norrie in qualifying. He won the title at the three Challenger tournaments in Biella in mid-March and also made it to the semi-finals and round of XNUMX. The goal is to stay in the top 100 After Parma and Paris, the lawn season is on the agenda for Seppi. He doesn't yet know where the Überetscher will land. He'll be there at Wimbledon, and Seppi will also be at the US Open (hard court) at the end of August. Seppi has 64 ATP points to defend by the end of the season. The South Tyrolean's goal is to remain in the top 100 of the world rankings. The 37-year-old is currently ranked 811rd with 93 ATP points. The Spaniard Pedro Martinez currently appears in 100th place with 776 points.
