Tennis ace Lukas Neumayer was also eliminated in the round of 16 at his second tournament in Buenos Aires. The man from Radstadt lost after three exciting sets, although things had clearly gone for Günter Bresnik’s protégé in the first.
Neumayer lost in the round of 16 against Bolivian Murkel Dellien 6:1, 5:7 and 3:6. After a one-sided first set, the finalist of the Salzburg Open 2023 found it much more difficult in the second and lost it 5:7. In the decisive third set, Neumayer lost 3:6. The 21-year-old is once again eliminated in the first round after also failing at the start of the first tournament in Argentina. His opponent Dellien will face local hero Nicolas Kicker in the round of 16. The Argentine is currently ranked 508th in the world rankings. The Salzburger is ranked 229th. On paper, Günter Bresnik’s protégé would have been the favorite. Positive: Because his first half of 2023 was very modest, he hardly has any points to defend. Nevertheless, it will be difficult to achieve his goal of a top 150 placement.
