ABN AMRO WORLD TENNIS TOURNAMENT: DAY 4 MEDIA NOTES Thursday, 15 February 2018 Rotterdam Ahoy Rotterdam, The Netherlands February 12-18, 2018 Draw: S-32, D-16 Prize Money: 1,862,295 Surface: Indoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com abnamrowtt.nl/en Martin Dagahs: mdagahs@atpworldtour.com Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @abnamrowtt Press Room: Dimitri Bonthuis (d.bonthuis@ahoy.nl) Facebook: @ATPWorldTour facebook.com/abnamrowtt TV & Radio: TennisTV.com FEDERER FACES FAMILIAR FOE KOHLSCHREIBER ON DAY 4 Top seed and World No. 2 Roger Federer of Switzerland will attempt to make the quarter-finals of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament on Thursday when he clashes with Germany s Philipp Kohlschreiber for the 13th time in their respective professional careers. The German has yet to beat Federer in 12 tries he came closest in the first round of Halle in 2015, when the Swiss superstar needed to win a final-set tiebreak in order to prevail, en route to winning that title. A 13th consecutive win over Kohlschreiber would put Federer only one round away from claiming the World No. 1 ranking for the first time in over five years, and becoming the oldest player to rank No. 1. 2nd-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria will also try to claim a quarter-final spot on Day 4, facing off against Serbian Filip Krajinovic. Both players reached their maiden ATP Masters 1000 finals last year, Dimitrov winning the title in Cincinnati over Nick Kyrgios, and Krajinovic making a surprise run to the championship match in Paris before losing to Jack Sock. Dimitrov, of course, went on from there to qualify for and win the Nitto ATP Finals in London, finishing the season ranked No. 3. The Bulgarian, a semi-finalist in Rotterdam in 2013, will aim to make the quarter-finals here for the second straight year. Two battles between unseeded players open the day on Centre Court. First, Russia s Andrey Rublev will square off against Damir Dzumhur of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 20-year-old Rublev is one of the brightest of the #NextGenATP players: last year, he won his first ATP World Tour title in Umag, reached the US Open quarter-finals, and advanced to the championship match of the Next Gen ATP Finals. Dzumhur also had a strong end to 2017, winning his first two ATP World Tour titles in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Following that match, two qualifiers will meet when Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert plays Daniil Medvedev of Russia. Medvedev is also a recent first-time titlist, winning at Sydney in January. Meanwhile, Herbert has qualified in Rotterdam for the second year in a row, and last year he went all the way to the semi-finals. The day ends with the all-dutch encounter between Robin Haase, the Netherlands top-ranked player, and wild card Tallon Griekspoor. It will be Haase s second consecutive match against a fellow Dutch player, as the World No. 42 eliminated wild card Thiemo de Bakker in the first round. Haase is one win away from making the quarter-finals in Rotterdam for the first time since 2008, but to get there, he will have to quash the breakthrough run of 21-year-old Griekspoor. In the first round, the wild card stunned three-time Grand Slam champion and World No. 13 Stan Wawrinka in his first ever match against a Top 20 opponent, giving Griekspoor his first ATP World Tour main draw win in his third attempt.

ABN AMRO WORLD TENNIS TOURNAMENT: DAY 3 MEDIA NOTES Wednesday, 14 February 2018 Rotterdam Ahoy Rotterdam, The Netherlands February 12-18, 2018 Draw: S-32, D-16 Prize Money: 1,862,295 Surface: Indoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com abnamrowtt.nl/en Martin Dagahs: mdagahs@atpworldtour.com Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @abnamrowtt Press Room: Dimitri Bonthuis (d.bonthuis@ahoy.nl) Facebook: @ATPWorldTour facebook.com/abnamrowtt TV & Radio: TennisTV.com FEDERER S QUEST FOR NO. 1 BEGINS ON DAY 3 IN ROTTERDAM Top seed and World No. 2 Roger Federer takes to the court on Wednesday at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament, with the World No. 1 ranking in his sights. The Swiss superstar will play his first-round match against Belgian qualifier Ruben Bemelmans, a player he has never faced. If Federer can get past Bemelmans, then advance two more rounds into the semi-finals, he will reclaim the World No. 1 ranking for the first time since 4 November 2012. Federer won this event in 2005 and 2012, and has never lost here before the quarterfinals. Nevertheless, this is his first appearance here since 2013, and Bemelmans looked sharp in qualifying, winning his two matches without dropping a set. 2nd-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria also gets his Rotterdam event underway on Tuesday, as he will take on Japan s Yuichi Sugita. Dimitrov is still looking for his first final of the year, but has a 2-0 head-to-head record against Sugita. The Japanese player did just pick up the first Top 10 win of his career at the Australian Open, with a first-round win over Jack Sock. The two Frenchmen who played in Sunday s Open Sud de France final contest their first-round matches on Wednesday as well. No. 7 seed Lucas Pouille, who won the event in Montpellier, will face off against #NextGenATP player Andrey Rublev of Russia, in the first match on Centre Court. Meanwhile, on Court 1, Richard Gasquet, who lost to Pouille in the Montpellier final, will play compatriot Pierre-Hugues Herbert for the second straight week. Rounding out the first round will be an all-dutch affair, as the Netherlands top-ranked player Robin Haase will meet wild card Thiemo de Bakker, as well as an encounter between Bosnian Damir Dzumhur and last week s Diema Xtra Sofia Open runner-up, Marius Copil. Three seeded players will contest their second-round matches on a packed Wednesday.

ABN AMRO WORLD TENNIS TOURNAMENT: DAY 2 MEDIA NOTES Tuesday, 13 February 2018 Rotterdam Ahoy Rotterdam, The Netherlands February 12-18, 2018 Draw: S-32, D-16 Prize Money: 1,862,295 Surface: Indoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing ATPWorldTour.com abnamrowtt.nl/en Martin Dagahs: mdagahs@atpworldtour.com Twitter: @ATPWorldTour @abnamrowtt Press Room: Dimitri Bonthuis (d.bonthuis@ahoy.nl) Facebook: @ATPWorldTour facebook.com/abnamrowtt TV & Radio: TennisTV.com FORMER CHAMP WAWRINKA MEETS DUTCH WILD CARD ON DAY 2 2015 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament champion Stan Wawrinka kicks off his 2018 campaign on Tuesday with a first-round tilt against Dutch wild card Tallon Griekspoor. 5th-seeded Wawrinka, winner of 16 ATP World Tour singles titles, including three Grand Slam championships, is hoping to kickstart his season in Rotterdam. He has posted a 3-2 win/loss record since coming back to the Tour in January, following two left knee surgeries he underwent in August of last year. The Swiss star had a promising result at the Diema Xtra Sofia Open last week, reaching the semi-finals before losing to eventual titlist Mirza Basic. Griekspoor, on the other hand, is looking to gain more experience at ATP World Tour level. This will be only the third ATP main draw match of the 21-year-old s career, after two first round losses last year, both of which took place in his native Netherlands (Rotterdam and s-hertogenbosch). Last year s runner-up, 4th-seeded David Goffin of Belgium also opens his tournament on Day 2, against Frenchman Benoit Paire. While Goffin ended last year with a flourish, winning two titles and reaching the championship match of the Nitto ATP Finals, defeating No. 1 Rafael Nadal and No. 2 Roger Federer en route, the World No. 7 faces a player who has given him tough tests in the past. Paire has beaten the Belgian three times in four ATP World Tour meetings, including in a final-set tiebreak in Metz just last year. Additionally, No. 9 seed Gilles Muller of Luxembourg takes on Russian qualifier Daniil Medvedev, in a match between the last two winners of the ATP World Tour event in Sydney. Medvedev came through the qualifying rounds to win that event last month for his debut singles title, while Muller also picked up his debut title there in 2017, after five previous unsuccessful ATP singles final appearances. Another wild card will follow Griekspoor on Centre Court, when 17-year-old Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime meets Filip Krajinovic of Serbia. The #NextGenATP player from Montreal will make his ATP World Tour main draw debut, coming up against Krajinovic, who reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final in Paris last year, but has only played one match so far this year due to persistent injuries. Meanwhile, other first-round matches on Tuesday include Germany s Philipp Kohlschreiber against Karen Khachanov of Russia, and Jan-Lennard Struff of Germany versus Serbian Viktor Troicki.
