Viktor Troicki will face the challenge of Mischa Zverev in the first round of this year’s ATP Halle OpenYou can watch and bet on the action from the ATP Halle Open at bet365Viktor Troicki made decent progress in this year’s French Open, but will surely be disappointed about throwing away a commanding lead against Andy Murray in the fourth round. He will get a chance to bounce back this week at the Gerry Weber Open, where he enters as the No. 5 seed. Whilst his past performances here haven’t been notable, he could realistically prove to be a title contender.
Troicki’s first challenge will be an opening match against Mischa Zverev of Germany. Zverev will have the backing of the home crowd, but is considered to be the underdog. He’s only won 2 of his 10 matches at ATP level this season, and heads into this tournament as the world No. 100.
Whilst Troicki is expected to prevail here, he currently holds a 0-1 match record against Zverev following a sole meeting between the pairing in Moscow in 2008 (hard court). This time around Zverev will be looking for similar result, though Troicki will be wary of the threat of his opponent, and should be able to earn a berth in round two.
