The world number 12 was a size too big for Sebastian Ofner on Saturday in Shanghai. The 27-year-old Styrian had no chance in the second round of the Masters 1000 tournament in China against the American Tommy Paul with a score of 3:6, 0:6. The match only lasted 70 minutes.
The good news for Ofner is that at least in the live ranking he has settled into the top 50 for the time being at 46th place. However, given the way the tournament in Shanghai goes, he could also be eliminated.
Ofner fell behind in the opening game with a service loss and gave up serve a second time to make it 3:6. He didn’t find a single break ball in the second round either and even missed the game of honor. Paul took advantage of the second match point.
