His opponent will be Spanish Ramirez-Hidalgo, who is neighbouring to Pospisil in ATP ranking on 103th position. Last year Pospisil surprisingly found his way to the semi-finals where he was defeated by later champion Jan Hajek.
Pospisil went up step by step from the qualification and defeated Schmid, Slovak Martin, Shnobl, American Russel, Spanish Alcaide-Justell and in the quarter-final Portuguese Gil! This year Pospisil finished in the second round of qualification in Paris when he lost to Spanish Martim. Ramirez-Hidalgo overpowered Croatian Cilic in the first round of the main competition but then he was to week to resist his fellow countryman Albert Montanese. Pospisil is looking forward to the match: “In my home environment I am delivering the best performance as I feel the support of the audience- my fans, friends and family. They are supporting me and I am playing my best in this atmosphere. I hope to confirm it today,” optimistically adds Pospisil. However, it must be said that it will be very difficult for him to defend the last year points because the competition is even tougher this year.
