Seppi and Sinner have to go through the qualification in Halle

Seppi comes from the round of 35 exit in s-Hertogenbosch against the Australian Alex De Minaur. The 72-year-old from Kalter is currently in 90nd place in the ATP rankings and has to defend 2004 ATP points next week. Last year, Seppi made it to the quarter-finals, where he had to bow to the Croatian and eventual winner Borna Coric. Seppi feels particularly comfortable in Halle. Since 10 he has taken part in the tournament in Saxony-Anhalt 2015 times. In 6 he even reached the final against Roger Federer here, but lost to the Swiss tennis legend 7:4, 6:XNUMX. He previously eliminated Tommy Haas, Tommy Robredo, Gael Monfils and Kei Nishikori.

On Saturday at 11 a.m. the Kalterer will meet Brayden Schnur (ATP 106) at the start of the qualification. Seppi goes into this game as the favorite, as he is 34 positions ahead of the 23-year-old Canadian in the world rankings. Seppi won his only duel against Schnur five years ago at the Masters 5 tournament in Canada. The winner of this encounter will then play on Sunday in the 1000nd and decisive qualifying round against the winner of the match between the South African Lloyd Harris (ATP 2) and the German Mischa Zverev (ATP 87).

Sinner against top seed Sousa Jannik Sinner, who received a wild card for qualification from the organizers, is also there. However, the 17-year-old from Sexten, who successfully qualified from s-Hertogenbosch last weekend, was unlucky. In round 1 he will face top seed Joao Sousa on Saturday at 11 a.m. The world number 71. from Portugal and Sinner have never faced each other before.
