Finally! Thanks to the strong performance in Astana, tennis great Sebastian Ofner is in the top 50 of the world rankings for the first time in his career – the 27-year-old appears at number 49 in the live rankings. Before him, only nine other Austrians made it into the top 50. But they all know only true professionals. You too?
9. Andreas Haider-Maurer: He became known to a wider audience in 2010 when he stormed into the final of the tournament in Vienna, where he was defeated by Jürgen Melzer 7:6, 6:7 and 4:6. On April 20, 2015, the world rankings dropped him to No. 47, his career high. In the autumn, after the tournament in Vienna, he had to take a long break due to a heel infection. He then underwent foot surgery in mid-June 2016 with no improvement, causing him to miss the entire 2016 season. The comeback started after 19 months, but he lost in the first round in all nine main fields of the World Tour. On January 18, 2019, he ended his career due to ongoing health problems.
