During the 2nd round in Kitzbühel, Arthur Cazaux and Arthur Rinderknech won, opposite Francisco Comesana and Norbert Gombos, and will now challenge two Germans.
Certainly, everything is fine for Arthur Cazaux at the moment. After having been semi-finalist last week in Gstaad (Switzerland) and returning to the Top 100 of the ATP ranking last Monday, the Frenchman qualified this Wednesday for the quarter-finals in Kitzbühel.
Opposed to Francisco Comesana on the Austrian clay, the native of Montpellier won in two sets (6-4, 7-6) and 1:48 of the game. During the first, when he made the first break of the match at 1-1, the world world then managed to keep his advance and therefore raised in mind on the display board. Forced to react then, the Argentinian held out and pushed Cazaux to Tie-Break. But, in this little game, it was the French who had the last word during the decisive game won 9-7. It is therefore the Montpellier who will have the right to challenge the German Jan-Lennard Struff (152nd world) in the next round.

A little earlier, Arthur Rinderknech had shown the track to Cazaux. Indeed, after having eliminated the Argentinian Facundo Bagnis, the world world has chained and dominated Norbert Gombos in three sets (6-7, 6-4, 6-4) and 2:35 of play. First, if the Slovak pocketed the first round in the decisive game (7-3), the reaction of the native of Gassin did not drag. By making the first break of the match at 3-3 in the second set, the Frenchman made the difference and was able to return to the height of his opponent of the day.
The story was generally repeated in the third and last round with Rinderknech who resumed the Gombos service at 4-4 and then finished work on his service. In the quarter in Kitzbühel, the latter will find the German Yannick Hanfmann (141st in the world) which he had already faced and defeated during the 2023 edition of the tournament. It was then in the round of 16 (7-6, 6-3). It is up to him to achieve the same result now.
