Roland Garros, French Open Paris. First main draw participation in a Grand Slam tournament

Dominic met Dutchman Jesse Sels in the first round of the qualifier. A strong opponent for a first round. But Dominic quickly got into the match and won 7:6 / 6:3. The start was successful. After that, it almost came to the encounter of the 2020 final in the juniors. But Leandro Riedi lost to the running wonder from the Czech Republic, Dalibor Svrinca. Exactly the same person Dominic had beaten in Prague in the third set. This time, however, the match was completely different and Dominic played aggressively and gave his opponent no chance with 6:4 / 6:1.

In the last qualifying round, the Argentinean T. A. Tirante was on the other side. And those who have seen the matches of this clay court specialist knew that this would be a tough match. The first set went 3:6 away. Then the turnaround and Dominic played confidently and with a clear 6:1 the second set went to Dominic. And the beginning was great. Dominic quickly won 2 break points. But the Argentinean put the important ball just on the sideline and Dominic won the first game. After that, the situation was reversed. Break point for Tirante and again line ball for him. After that, Dominic did not really come back and finally lost this decisive match in the third qualifying round.

Now it was time to wait. As one of the best losers, Dominic could hope for a place as a “lucky loser”. And when the last qualifying match was over, Dominic had to wait and shiver. But only for about 10 minutes, then Dominic got the important WhatsApp message “you are in”. His first Grand Slam main draw participation was a fact.

Now, however, the luck of the draw was no longer on his side and with Tommy Paul ATP 17, one of the strongest players of 2023 (among others semi-finalist in the Australian Open) was drawn to Dominic. Dominic showed a hearty match in this one. Watched live on TV and in front of a great, packed crowd, it was quickly clear, however, that this would be difficult. The American played very safely, made almost no mistakes and Dominic was slightly nervous at the beginning. In addition, Dominic was not able to score with his service as usual. So he lost 3:6 / 2:6 / 4:6.

Despite everything, a great success and Dominic can tackle the next tasks strengthened.
