HUNGARIAN OPEN: PREVIEW & 22 APRIL MEDIA NOTES

Sport11 Sport and Event Center | Budapest, Hungary | 22-28 April 2019 Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: € 524,340 | Surface: Clay

10 THINGS TO WATCH IN BUDAPEST

1) Third Time’s the Charm: The ATP Tour returns to Budapest for the third straight season with the Hungarian Open. Defending champion Marco Cecchinato and former finalists John Millman and Aljaz Bedene join Top 15 Croats Marin Cilic and Borna Coric in the field.

2) The Champ Returns: Cecchinato entered Budapest last year ranked No. 92 and holding a 1-6 Tour-level record, and then lost in qualifying to Jurgen Zopp. But the Italian got a lucky loser spot, and zoomed to his first ATP Tour singles semi-final, final, and title. His 2018 pivoted from there: he made the Roland Garros semi-finals, won another title at Umag, and ended the year in the Top 20.

3) Wild One: Top seed Cilic got a wild card into Budapest, and the World No. 11 comes into the event with a 4-5 record on the year, still seeking his first 2019 quarter-final. As the reigning Australian Open runner-up, Cilic rallied from two sets down and saved match points to oust Fernando Verdasco in the third round of Melbourne, but lost in the fourth round to Roberto Bautista Agut.

4) Borna Again: No. 2 seed Coric starts the Hungarian Open coming off back-to-back quarter-final showings at ATP Masters 1000 events at Miami and Monte-Carlo. Coric, whose first ATP Tour singles title came on clay at Marrakech in 2017, is returning to Budapest for a second showing, following a first-round loss to Jiri Vesely in his only prior appearance in 2017.

5) Serbian Surprise: Dusan Lajovic lurks as an unseeded player despite being a newly-minted Top 25 player. The Serb is now at a career-high ranking of World No. 24 after his run to a first-ever ATP Tour singles final at ATP Masters 1000 Monte-Carlo last week. Lajovic, who notched his first Top 5 win over Dominic Thiem in Monte-Carlo, smashed his prior career-high ranking of No. 42.

6) Great Georgian: No. 4 seed Nikoloz Basilashvili made his second quarter-final of 2018 in his debut showing at Budapest last year. The Georgian would go on to break through in a big way last season, winning two titles, at Hamburg and Beijing, and finishing the year in the Top 25.

7) First Wins Club: No. 5 seed Laslo Djere and No. 8 seed Radu Albot are two of the eight first-time singles champions on the ATP Tour this season. Djere picked up his first trophy at Rio de Janeiro, while Albot triumphed at Delray Beach, becoming the first singles champion to represent Moldova.

8) Close Calls: Last year’s runner-up John Millman is back as the No. 6 seed; the Australian made his sole final to date in Budapest last year. Millman edged 2017 runner-up Aljaz Bedene in last year’s semi-finals; Bedene has also returned to Budapest, as he too still seeks a first title.

9) Going Wild: Hungarians Attila Balazs and Mate Valkusz join Cilic as wild cards. 20-year-old Valkusz, who lost to eventual champion Cecchinato in the first round of qualifying last year, will be making his ATP Tour main-draw debut this week. 30-year-old Balazs’s best Tour-level result was a semi-final run as a qualifier at Bucharest in 2012.

10) Doubling Up: Rohan Bopanna and Dominic Inglot head the Hungarian Open doubles draw as the top seeds. Inglot is going for his second straight title at Budapest: he won the event last year partnering Franko Skugor.
