Andreas Seppi fails in the doubles semi-finals in Vienna

The semi-final in the Wiener Stadthalle lasted just 66 minutes, then Melo/Kubot used their first match point to make the final score 6:3-6:4.

Seppi and his Spanish doubles partner were never really able to stand up to their rivals from Brazil and Poland. While Seppi/Marrero couldn't take the opponent's service once, Melo/Kubot had one break in each set to win the game.

Seppi suffered his seventh defeat in an ATP doubles semi-final. In total, the South Tyrolean has already reached the semi-finals twelve times in doubles.

In Basel against Goffin

At the same time as Seppi's appearance in Vienna, the main draw was already being drawn at the next tournament location. At the beginning of the week at the ATP 500 competition in Basel he immediately had to deal with the number eight seeded Belgian David Goffin. Against the world number 16. Seppi clearly lost 2:6, 3:6 in Beijing just a few weeks ago. This was the only meeting between the two opponents so far.

Seppi will play the doubles in Basel with the Argentinian Leonardo Mayer. Here too, the Kalterer team was unlucky, as Seppi/Mayer met number 2 seed Jean-Julien Rojer/Horia Tecau (NED/ROU) right at the start.

Andreas Seppi fails in the doubles semi-finals in Vienna

Nothing came of the Kalterer's hoped-for final in the double competition of the Erste Bank Open in Vienna (ATP 500, 1.745.040 euros in prize money). Andreas Seppi and David Marrero clearly lost to Marcelo Melo and Lukasz Kubot in two sets.
