After a long pause, Lado Chikhladze returned to court. 26-year-old Georgian tennis player was world No.350 in October 2007. Though, he had injury and could not play for a long time. As a result of it, he is not in ATP ranking anymore.
Chikhladze played at Italian Futures last March and overcame two rounds though in ¼ final he was beating Dusan Lajovic of Serbia 6:4, 4:4 when he retired…
Now, Chikhladze was given “Wild Card” at BMW Open (450 000 EUR) which is underway in the city of Germany, Munich. Lado was not a favorite and lost to No.5 seed Peter Gojowczyk of Germany 4:6, 1:6.
