Alexander Weis gets 9th world ranking point in Cairo

The South Tyrolean is currently in top form. In the last two months, Weis scored five ATP points. On Tuesday in Cairo he defeated the 19-year-old local hero Aboulkassem 6:3, 6:2 and moved into the round of 1, where he will meet the winner of the match between number XNUMX seed Youssef Hossam and Omar Elkadi on Thursday .

In the afternoon, Weis also played doubles with Georg Winkler from Völs. Here the South Tyroleans narrowly missed out on reaching the quarter-finals. Weis/Winkler had to admit defeat to the Italian-French duo Francesco Bessire/Leny Mitjana in the super tiebreak with 6:3, 5:7, 6:10. A bitter defeat when you consider that Weis/Winkler were unable to use a match point in the second set when the score was 5:4.

Georg Winkler, who only got into the main draw in Cairo thanks to a wild card, will only play his first round individual match tomorrow. In the starting round, the Völser meets the 23-year-old Frenchman Leny Mitjana, number 794 in the world. Verena Hofer in action in Hammamet. Val Gardena's Verena Hofer is teeing off again this week at the $15.000 tournament in Hammamet. On Tuesday, the 20-year-old from Ortisei and Maria Viviani played their doubles first round match against the Italian pairing Federica Bilardo/Francesca Sella, but lost in two sets 3:6, 5:7. In the singles, Hofer will face British Emily Arbuthnott in the main draw on Wednesday, who is 135 places behind her in the world rankings (Arbuthnott is number 902 in the world, Hofer is number 768), but their only direct duel so far was last week Hammamet lost to Val Gardena 4:6, 6:7(5).
