Wimbledon: Seppi meets Klein, Knapp meets Rybarikova

Andreas Seppi from Kaltern will face Briton Brydan Klein at the most important tennis tournament in the world. The 25-year-old from Kent is currently number 177 in the world. It is the first direct duel between Kalterer and Klein. If Seppi survives the first round, he would face the winner of the game Sergiy Stakhovsky (UKR/49) against Borna Coric (CRO/39) in the second round.

In the third round at the latest there would be a duel with Andy Murray, who is seeded third. The Scot won the tournament in 2013, and the year before he became Olympic champion at Wimbledon. Andreas Seppi's best result at Wimbledon was reaching the round of 2013 in XNUMX.

"Andreas is doing well. He still has to recover from the exertions of the last few weeks, but he is in good shape. His opponent Brydan Klein is not playing badly on grass. Since it is the first direct duel, we will be particularly good prepare for it," explained Massimo Sartori when asked by SportNews .

Karin Knapp against Slovakian Ryabarikova

Karin Knapp, number 40 in the world, will face Slovakian Magdalena Rybarikova in the first round. She is currently number 66 in the women's ranking. In the previous three direct duels, the winner was always Karin Knapp. In 2006, the almost 28-year-old from Luttach prevailed in Las Palmas and Prostejov, and last year the Puster native had the upper hand in Linz.

If Knapp survives the first round, then she could meet eighth-seeded Russian Ekaterina Makarova (WTA 8) in the second round. This year in Miami, Makarova won 6:1, 6:3. Karin Knapp reached the round of 2013 in XNUMX. This is her best result so far at Wimbledon.
