The round of 16 match of Austrian Open 2023 between Laslo Djere and Thiago Seyboth Wild will take place on August 2.
Laslo Djere, after his deep run in Hamburg, faced some fatigue but managed to save seven out of eight breakpoint chances in his win against Christopher O’Connell at ATP Kitzbuhel. He has been consistently improving his ATP rankings in recent months, re-entering the top 50 group after finishing as the runner-up in Hamburg last week. Although Djere achieved a career-high ranking of #27 in June 2019, he experienced a decline following the pandemic break in 2020. Notably, his best showing in Kitzbuhel was in 2020 when he reached the semifinals, winning five consecutive matches as a qualifier, including impressive victories against Jannik Sinner and Diego Schwartzman.
Thiago Seyboth Wild’s impressive victory over Dennis Novak in the first round is noteworthy, especially considering Novak’s extensive experience in Austria and at the current venue, despite being ranked lower at #166 in the ATP rankings. Previously, the skilled Brazilian converted his sole second-round success at the ATP level into his first ATP title in Santiago three years ago. However, he has faced challenges in the second round, holding a 1-4 record at this stage. One of those second-round losses occurred against Laslo Djere in Hamburg in 2021.

With a head-to-head record of 2-0 in favor of Laslo Djere, the Serbian player would typically be considered the strong favorite in this matchup, especially given his current form. However, the situation is different now due to Djere’s recent tiring week in Hamburg, which could level the playing field. This presents a great opportunity for Thiago Seyboth Wild to potentially achieve a rare quarterfinal result at this level.
The round of 16 match of Austrian Open 2023 between Laslo Djere and Thiago Seyboth Wild will take place on August 2.
