A few days after playing his first semi-final on the ATP circuit in Gstaad, Arthur Cazaux qualified for the knockout stages of the Kitzbühel tournament.
Arthur Cazaux has gone from one ski resort to another, but everything is still going as well for the young French player. Last week, the almost 23-year-old player had played his very first semi-final on the ATP circuit in Gstaad in Switzerland, where he had been beaten by Alexander Bublik.
