German 17-year-old Engel Makes Winning Start In Stuttgart
ATP Live Race To Jeddah: Though he is short on grass-court experience, Justin Engel of Germany made an impactful start at the Stuttgart Open here on Tuesday, fighting back from a set down to make it to the second round and left the cheering home crowd quite impressed.
The #NextGenATP home favourite Engel rallied past qualifier James Duckworth 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(5) at the ATP 250 tournament to win his first professional match on a grass court. The 17-year-old trailed by a break at 2-3 in the deciding set when he was treated by the tournament doctor for dizziness, but he still summoned the energy to complete a two-hour, 30-minute comeback victory.
“I’m really proud of myself. It was my first grass match here,” said Engel in his on-court interview. “I know it was tough, this match, and I’m pretty happy with this result. I can’t wait to play the next round.”
