Pavel Nejedlý was outplayed by the Austrian Alexander Erler, but David Poljak won his match and advanced to the next round. Thus, it was half satisfactory. Poljak played the main favorite of the qualification Johannes Haerteis, but the Prostějov player gave good performance and won in two sets.
“I got even with my opponent after the two previous losses. Except for a few weaker moments, I played well and I’m glad that I’ve advanced to the main competition at home," said Poljak. “My results have not been very good recently and I take the advance as a reward for practicing hard during previous weeks,” said the Prostějov player.
