Kopriva – Altmaier 1: 3
Kopriva looks at his coach questioningly after starting this service with a double mistake. The Czech then changes its game, trying to go online faster. However, he cannot prevent the next break ball against himself. Again he has to go over the second serve. Altmaier tries with a stop ball. The device a little too long, so Kopriva saves itself and then serves his first ace.

An important tournament
In his career, Daniel Altmaier has already made a name for himself for memorable matches at the French Open. In 2023 he defeated Jannik Sinner after over five hours and five sets. Now the German added another chapter on his personal achievements in the sandplace Grand Slam and beat Taylor Fritz (3: 1). The French Open are obviously a good place for Altmaier. “Paris is special because I was successful here. You can come here with another emotion. To have this emotion with a Grand Slam will be very positive for me in the long term.”
