Djere in Fine Form
Laslo Djere has come into the tournament in fine form. The world no. 38 reached his fifth ATP final and a first of this season in Hamburg last week, but he could not add to his two career titles, as he went down to Alexander Zverev in the final.
Thanks to that performance Djere improved to 16-11 on clay this season and that record includes matches played across levels. The Serb was also a finalist in Cagliari Challenger on clay in May.
Overall, the 28-year-old is 23-18 at the tour level in 2023. He will be making his fourth appearance in Kitzbuhel this year. He produced his best result in 2020, where he was a semifinalist.
Can he bring his Budapest form to Austria and start off with a win?
