Melzer missed double titles
Jurgen Melzer and his french partner Edouard Roger-Vasselin lost the final at the $ 5.7 million ATP Finals in London. The surprise finalists lost to the Dutch-Croatian couple Wesley Koolhof / Nikola Mektic at 2: 6.6: 3.5: 10. That meant nothing came of the first double win at the Masters for an Austrian. 2007 also had Julian Knowle (at that time with Simon Aspelin/ SWE) reached the final.
In late January, after the Australian Open, Melzer hangs up his racket almost entirely, perhaps still playing a pleasure project at the French Open and Wimbledon. It’s no harder for him to quit, despite his still good form. “He knew he could play one more year. For me, the opportunity to do this job just dominated and therefore I have no regrets.“
In the end, accepting ÖTV’s role as sports director was also a decision for his family. The father of a son with a former swim star Fabienne Melzer-Nadarajah you are married, you expect to spend a lot of time at home. For an ambitious career year, you need to be on the road for 30 weeks out of the year. “I’m turning 40 next year, at some point it was good too, I’ve been doing it for 21 years.“
