ATP Challenger Val Gardena: Five seeded players in the quarterfinals

Evgeny Donskoy ended the winning streak of qualifier Maximilian Neuchrist from Austria in the afternoon. The 25-year-old Russian, who returned to the top 100 in the world rankings after strong performances in recent weeks (semi-finals three weeks ago at the ATP tournament in Moscow), prevailed 6:4, 7:6(5). Today he impressed against the strong server Neuchrist, especially as a receiver. Despite 15 aces, the Austrian left the field as a loser after overcoming a 1-3 deficit in the second set.

Luca Vanni as the only “Azzurro” in the quarterfinals With the fourth win in the fourth duel against Erik Crepaldi, number six seeded Luca Vanni is the only Italian player from Italy to make it to the quarter-finals. The world number 117 won the Italian duel 7:6(4), 6:3, but had a lot of trouble, especially in the first set. Vanni started with the break to make it 1-0 and served at 5-4 to win the set. He also had a set ball that he couldn't use. At 6:5 Crepaldi then had set point. He also missed the opportunity to win the first set. After three errors in the tiebreak, he had to give up the set. In the second half of the game, a break was enough for Vanni to make it 4:2.

Hungarian Fucsovics eliminates Arnaboldi In the first round on Wednesday, Marton Fucsovics fended off six match points, and now the 23-year-old from Hungary is in the quarter-finals in Ortisei. Today he defeated Andrea Arnaboldi 6:4, 6:4. The Italian was in trouble from the start. He had to fend off two break points in the first service game, then conceded the decisive break at 2:3. Fucsovics was then unable to take advantage of six more break chances, but it was enough to win the set 6-4. At the start of the second period, Arnaboldi fended off six more break points and even had two chances to make it 4-2. With the score at 3:3, the Hungarian, who won the junior tournament at Wimbledon in 2010, got the decisive break.

Rajeev Ram fends off three match points The last round of 3 was also extremely exciting between the American Rajeev Ram, number 2 on the seeding list, and the Italian wild card player Lorenzo Sonego, who won the first set in the tiebreak and then missed three match points in the tiebreak in the second half of the game. Ram finally prevailed 11-6 in the third, decisive set after 4:XNUMX hours of play.
