After 15 days of competition, Roland Garros 2021 has officially closed. This is also a greeting for the vibrant clay season. At this time, the felt ball village has officially entered the pitch season, with Halle Open as one of the most notable tournaments before Wimbledon.
According to BTC's announcement, this year's Halle Open will have the presence of Roger Federer. The 8th -class player in the world is ranked No. 5 of the tournament and will have the opening match at 19:00 today. His opponent is Ilya IVASHKA – World 90th rank player.
This season, Federer did not play too much. He attended the Qatar Exxonmobil Open Doha in March and reached the quarterfinals, then stopped in the second round of Geneva Open in his home town of Switzerland before withdrawing from the fourth round of Roland Garros. For many people, the decision of the Swiss “express train” is a pity when he is in good form in the tournament in France.
However, according to what Federer shared, he wanted to focus the maximum focus on the pitch season. This also means that the player who won 20 Grand Slam titles will try his best at Halle Open this year. In order to go to the championship and have the perfect momentum for Wimbledon, he needs to overcome the first obstacles called Ilya Ivashka.
IVASHKA is 27 years old and is ranked 90th in the world. This is considered a relatively light challenge for Federer. It is likely that the world's No. 8 player will have an easy victory to continue in the second round.
