All four were beaten by unseeded opponents \u2014 and those four are the complete unseeded contingent to reach the third round.<\/p>\n<p>The loudest of those results was Dawid Lewandowski's win over Suresh. The Pole took the first set in a tie-break 7-6(5), dropped the second 3-6 and settled the match in a super tie-break 10-3. Bruno Kokot beat Kypriotis after losing the opening set \u2014 4-6, 7-5, 10-2. Jiri Jindacek saw off Bie\u0144kiewicz 6-4, 6-4, and Dawid Wi\u015bniewski beat Hrynkiewicz 6-4, 6-3.<\/p>\n<p>Three of the sixteen matches went to a deciding super tie-break, and in all three the winner was the player who had dropped a set or had to come from behind: Lewandowski, Kokot and Wojciech Marek. At the other end of the scale stood Leonardo Iemmi, who gave Norbert Zieli\u0144ski a single game (6-1, 6-0). Jan Ch\u0142odnicki dropped two (6-2, 6-0), and Oliwier Sterniczuk, Mi\u0142osz Sroka and Peetu Pohjola three each.<\/p>\n<h2>One wild card left<\/h2>\n<p>Of the seven wild-card holders in qualifying, one is still standing after two days of play. Wojciech Marek came from a set down against Maciej Matuszczyk to win 2-6, 6-1, 10-3. His last two companions went out on Monday: Jan Werbli\u0144ski lost to Mi\u0142osz Sroka 3-6, 0-6, and Norbert Zieli\u0144ski fell to Leonardo Iemmi 1-6, 0-6.<\/p>\n<h2>Three all-Polish matches, three guaranteed places<\/h2>\n<p>Tuesday's third round is eight matches for eight places in the main draw. Ten of the sixteen players left are Polish, and in three of the pairings they face each other: Szajrych against Wi\u015bniewski, Kokot against Ch\u0142odnicki and Sterniczuk against Sroka. Three of those places are therefore already guaranteed to go to Poles.<\/p>\n<p>In four more matches a Pole meets a foreign opponent \u2014 Lewandowski against Tarasevich, Marek against Savano, Michocki against Pohjola and Kaczmarek against Iemmi. Only one match will be played without a Pole: Jindacek against Finkelstein.<\/p>\n<p>That means between three and seven Poles will come through qualifying into the main draw.<\/p>\n<h2>The main draw is out<\/h2>\n<p>The main draw was also made on Monday. The eight places marked Qualifier will go to the winners of Tuesday's qualifying matches.<\/p>\n<p>The top seed is\u00a0<strong>Daniel Michalski<\/strong>, the 2024 Astra Open champion, who begins against Argentina's Franco Ribero.
