Jonas Gundacker continues his upward sporting trend: at the international PTT tournament in Maria Lanzendorf ($20,000 prize money), the 22-year-old from Lower Austria showed impressively that he is in top form – both physically and mentally. Although he lost to Hungary’s Norbert Marosik (ATP 1950) in the final, the way he got there was more than remarkable.
The tournament format consisted of group matches, followed by a grid for places 1 to 20. Jonas got off to a strong start, although he was beaten by Finland’s Peetu Pohjola in the first round after taking the first set, but was then able to move into the final grid with three convincing victories – including against Stepan Baum (ATP 1220).
Sebastian Prechtel (ATP 911), a real heavyweight, was waiting in the semi-finals – but Jonas fought back after clearly losing the first set and won in three sets: 1:6, 7:5, 6:2. He finally lost the final against Marosik 3:6, 2:6, but was still able to celebrate second place and $2,075 in prize money.
"I've seen that I can keep up with stronger opponents"
This tournament was an important yardstick for Jonas. “The match against Prechtel in particular showed me that I can also hold my own against much better-ranked players – if I stay calm, play my game and fight for every point,” said Jonas after the tournament.
His long-term goals also remain clear: to collect more ATP points, establish himself at futures tournaments and gradually work his way up to the top 200.
Sporting ambition meets a sense of values
In addition to sport, Jonas is also concerned with topics such as climate protection and sustainability. His stance on the energy transition fits in perfectly with AEP’s philosophy – and is one reason why we are supporting him on his journey.
