tournament draw
The Challenger circuit arrives in West Germany for the fifth edition of the Koblenz Open. This competition, played continuously from 2017 to 2020, featured champions such as Ruben Bemelmans, Mats Moraing or Gianluca Mager, as well as the last title winner, the Czech Tomas Machac, who was not there to confirm his victory.
Many expectations for the parity this competition suggests from its original table. The Chinese are at the top of the competition Zhizhen Zhang, historic for his country as he became the first male tennis player to enter the Top 100, and in good spirits last season. After the Eastern, they say they will present two players with a lot of experience in the Russian Roman Safiullinand before everything Vasek Pospisil. The Canadian has been looking for a recovery in terms of points, to get back into the top 100 in the world and to be able to play more important tournaments.
Among the seeds are also players with experience at this level and even in a higher category, as in the case of the British Liam Broady or German Maximilian Marterer.
