Andreas Seppi flies out early in Sofia

The 34-year-old from Kalter had to admit defeat to Hungary's Marton Fucsovics, number 47 in the world, 1:33, 2:6(6) after 7:2 hours of play after he was unable to convert two set points in the second half of the game.

Seppi missed the start of the match today and was 0:4 behind with two breaks. Fucsovics then held serve and took the first set 6-2. In the second half of the game, Seppi got into the game better and immediately took a 3-0 lead. The Hungarian reacted promptly and equalized to 3-3. With the score at 6:5, Seppi had two set points, but Fucsovics was able to fend off both. In the tiebreak he showed strong nerves and clearly won 7:2.

Fucsovics now leads in the direct encounters against Kalterer with 2-1 wins. Last year, Seppi won the first duel in Canberra in three sets, while the Hungarian was able to get revenge with a 6:3, 6:4 victory in Beijing.

Seppi still in action in doubles For Seppi, the tournament in Bulgaria is not over yet, as he is still in the doubles race with his compatriot Simone Bolelli. The two “Azzurri” will meet the winners of the game between Nikola Mektic (CRO)/Jürgen Melzer (AUT) and Santiago Gonzales (MEX)/Aisam Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK) in the quarterfinals.
