And the Slovenian youngsters trying to profit from these results. From the team that arrived in Hungary in 2021, we can highlight the doubles of Aljaz Turk and Primoz Kirbis, who are ready to surpass Matic’s performance, and since there is a prospect of open race, even the individual time trial of the first day can be crucial.
