J.J. Wolf also hasn’t been in great form recently and looks to start the year on a high. He hasn’t made it to the later stages of any of the major tournaments he has played in the last couple of months. He lost to Khachanov in the Vienna Open after winning the first two matches against Fucsovics and Miedler. In the next tournament before this at the Stockholm Open, he got knocked out right in the round of 16 stage to Alex de Minaur after winning the first match against Alex Molcan. He would be desperate for a win as he looks to build the momentum he has been wanting for far too long now. He beat Adrian Mannarino in the first-round matchup with the score ending 6-4, 7-6.
