One of the local favorites – Aleksandar Lazarov won first career ATP Tour win. The 21-years old Sofia born defeated Lucaks Lacko (SVK) in Sofia Open 2019 first qualifying round 7:6 (5), 6:2.
Lazarov will play next with the winner between Rudolf Molleker (GER) vs Luca Vanni (ITA)
“This is a great chance for me. I never felt such support as I did tonight. I think this was the match of my life so far. Hope tomorrow it will be the same for me and I will qualify to the main draw”, Lazarov said.
He played in Sofia Open qualifiers in 2018, and 2016, and got a wild card for the main draw in 2017.
